Hi Everyone:
I am dialing into a remote system using C-Kermit 8.0.211, logging in,
and then issuing commands to receive data.
This works well in interactive mode and I receive data back to my
screen.
I need to automate this process and capture the data to a file.
Using a "kerbang" script, I issue the command to receive data but it
does not appear on my screen. I searched the "debug.log" file, and
found the data is going to a buffer.
How do I retrieve data from the buffer and save it to a file?
There are many opportunities here but I'll assume you are issuing a unix
like command
which will give some kind of list you want to capture.
The following should be the core after establishing connection:
log session /* open session log
to hold the data */
lineout ls /* send ls command
to remote host */
input 0 a-string-you-will-never-receive /* you can create your own never
comming string */*/
/* but trust me
you need this */
log session close /* close the session log
before it gets cluttered
You should find the command ls echoed plus
the output of ls
in the file session.log in your working directory.
Regards...Dan.

help func scrnstr
help func scrncury
help func scrncurx
you may also type kermit screen scrape in google, this will link you
to sample scripts.

Go to [url]http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ckscripts.html[/url]
There are examples of scripts that receive data line by line and write
it to a file (eg the internet script pop3) and just log all received
data (the logging scripts) and a screen-scraping script too.
