Re: [Lynx-dev] using lynx in expect scripts?

[Jeff Sadowski]

Thats what I thought at first to but when I do this lynx whitescreens on me.
It looks like it is working a little

I think I found some issues looks like lynx is sending duplicate of
some text triggering my expect script to send before lynx is ready. I
think I fixed it if anyone else uses fedex insight manager feel free
to try this out.

my script was greatly reduced to the following
If anyone is interested I can give the parsing perl script I used to
strip out the info

#!/bin/sh
export username=fedex_insight_username
export password=fedex_insight_password
export view=fedex_custom_view
export mysqluser=mysqlusername
export mysqlpassword=mysqlpassword
export database=mysqldatabase
# put these variables in another file so I can share my script
if [ -f .fedexinfo ]; then
. .fedexinfo
fi
export view=`echo $view|sed s/" "/"+"/g`
rm -f manifest.*
expect -c "
#set no timeout
set timeout -1

#go to login
spawn lynx -nocolor -term=vt100 -accept_all_cookies
https://www.fedex.com/myfedex/go/home
#fillin username password
expect activate.
send /
expect query:
send User\ ID:\r
send ${username}\r
send ${password}\r
send \t\t\t\r

#search for Insight
#interact
expect activate.
expect activate.
send g
expect open:
send https://www.fedex.com/fedexiv/us/manifest/manifest_init.jsp?VIEW=${view}\r

#go to nonlink
expect activate.
send /
expect query:
send Close\ Window\r
send d

expect back.
expect back.
send \t\r
expect filename:
send \r
expect back.
send q
expect quit
send y

interact
