Is it possible that in the ruby-installer version of ruby (1.7.3) that
Net::Telnet.waitfor is broke? I cannot make it work to save my life. In
Perl everything works fine and Net::Telnet seems to be patterened after that
one. I’ve tried the simplest waitfor (ie. tn.waitfor(“dalora0c”) and it
still times-out).
Also, the telnetmode bug (when telnet set to ‘false’) waitfor doesn’t return
data received to your block.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It works for me on Win2k (ruby 1.7.3 (2002-11-17) [i386-mswin32]).
Can you post your troublesome code?
The way I use it is similar to:
conn = Net::Telnet.new(‘Host’ => ‘192.168.0.1’,
‘Timeout’ => 60,
‘Port’=> 23)
conn.write(“\n”)
conn.waitfor(“<”)
Regards,
Thanks! It was a pebkac (problem exists between keyboard and chair).! I
was quoting my regex’s (ie. “/blah/” instead of /blah/.
Can I quit writing Perl now?
