From the vendor I have very limited documentation of commands and variables. If possible I wanted to see if I could use a split command that was available and could be used on a variable, whereby giving me more than the two that they document. From what I understand there in an RFC that defines the specifications (which i have not been able to locate), where expect does not have an RFC. Thought I would do a post here and see what I could find.
You are talking about a split() type function that
is defined,offically, as returning the components on
either side of a delimiter?
Technically, I would say, if they don't have a multiple
element returning split, but the bare bones RFC compliant implementation(?), to use it in a loop advancing the read pointer equivalency to the second elements length till (readlen >= totallen), encapsulate it in a user function(they do have those right?), record all elements in a list and
return that.
split is tcl core specific however so, I guess you are just talking about syntax when you say it is like expect?
