Hi,
You can use autoexpect to create an expect script for you. Check whether
this is what you want.
To use expect do this :
From pc A run the command
$ autoexpect -f abcd.exp
U get the shell prompt here.
Run a ftp,get the txt files from the other PC and close the ftp connection.
After this type exit to come back to shell.
The script abcd.exp will be an expect script,that u can modify a little and
use for automation.
To use the script use
$ expect abcd.exp

Hi All,
1)What is the procedure to call an expect script from a shell script?
2)Is it possible to do the vice versa?
3)I have to form a string like "20061026-abc-recent" (i have done it with
the date command in shell script) and send it to the ftp get command.(the
ftp automation is in expect).
Pl advise.
Sivaraman
