Can there be multiple operators for a telnet prompt?	Can't Post

Hi guys,
I'm trying to write a telnet script that will send commands whenever it prompts different operators. Is this possible? For example...

Code

my $t = new Net::Telnet(Timeout=>10,  
Errmode=>'die',  
Prompt=>'/---/');

I would like to run a command whenever I'm prompted with a '%' or a '>'. How can I included these two operators in my code? I appreciate any help offered.

Thanks.

I guess you mean "prompting characters", whenever you say "operators".

The argument to "Prompt" is a regexp, so you can define whatever your prompt may look light.

Further, note that perldoc Net::Telnet says:

Quote
The default Prompt is '/[\$%#>] $/'

So the default already includes % and >. If this is to coarse-grained, you can, of course, refine this.
