Hi,

I have written a script in tcl and expect i have to send more than
1024B data to a switch. I can send that with multiple send commands
with one expect but I want to use 1 send command only but i am unable
to send that much. I am using linux machine to run this script. One of
my friend said that it is a limitation of the shell that we r using if
this is correct then tell me how to increse that shell size?
Here I am sending my script please tell me the required
modifications..
#!/usr/bin/tcl
package require Tclx
package require Expect

Use a different shell. I believe perl has an expect extension.

Or - you can change the source code.....

I think the problem is the length of the line is too long for the
shell you are using.

So as I said - either (a) fix the broken shell, or (b) use a different shell.

As for (a) - You can't increase the length of the line in the shell without
changing the source code of the shell and recompiling.

So the other answer is to use a different shell.

What's the version of the shell you are using? Which Operating system?
Which revision?
