networking newbie needs help! space bar character??

[mb111280]

help, i only been learning tcl for a day now, for the sole purpose of this program, and future networking tasks. So any help would be appreciated

ive written a script using tcl/expect, to telnet onto a cisco reuter and download the ip accounting stats. my problem is that after a page worth of stats is shown, it waits for either a space bar to show the nexts page content, or a return to show the next line. my script works fine, but very slow using the return key, ie /r, but to work properly, it needs the space bar. ive tried /s but it doesnt like it. heres the peice of script in concern:

set temp "y"
while { $temp == "y" } {
expect "More" { set temp y } "#" { set temp "n" }
send &quot;\r&quot; <--------------------
}

help if you can please

Don't know about sending a 'space bar' control to a
remote process. The ansi char table has it listed as
hex 20.
In theory send &quot;\x20\r&quot; might work.

Otherwise you could just wrap your line oriented
return in a page , half page and user defined
interact sequence:

expect {

         -gl "*More*" {
               interact {
                 ~fp {set x 1 ; while {$x < 45} {send &quot;\r&quot; ; incr x}}
                 ~hp {set x 1; while {$x < 25} {send &quot;\r&quot; ; incr x}}       
                 ~up {set x 1 ; send_user &quot;Number of lines
to skip: &quot; ; set num [gets stdin] ; while {$x < $num} {send &quot;\r&quot; ; incr x}}
               }
            } 
}
