I have the following problem:
I need to use expect (tcl8.0) on WIndows platform for communicating with an telnet application. I have other tcl scripts using tcl8.3. Now I need to execute a procedure (ideally) on expect/tcl8.0 and gets it result to the application on tcl8.3. I am looking at the dde as a means to do this. Does this sound like a viable approach? Ideally, I would logon via telnet (through expect) and occasionally would need to execute a proc in tcl to get data from this shell. Is there any other way to do this better?
Thanks.
