Hi I am try to get an expect script to telnet and login to a Panasonic and collect the call log to a file and print the new lines as calls are completed.
I am able to login successfully and write call to a log file, but can not print the output.

#!/usr/bin/expect
#!/home/pi/Documents
spawn telnet
expect "telnet>"
send "open 192.168.0.101 2300\r"
expect "Connected to 192.168.0.101."
send "\r"
expect "*"
send "smdr\r"
expect "Enter Password:"
send "pccsmdr\r"
log_file telnetlog.txt
# timout while testing
set timeout 60
#will never match
expect "salmon*"

Thanks in Advance

Need to use code tags, so its easier to read, like this

Why Telnet? Unless you don't care about security...

Sadly that is what Panasonic use, so I am stuck with it. Only gives read access, no command access.

Cheers

So Panasonic doesn't care about security.

What type of output does it need to display?

on initial connection you get the header
Date time Ext
When a caller make a phone call you get a line a single line output
14/03/16 01:46PM 202 08001234567

This is all logged to my file fine, but no printout.

I am looking to leave the telnet open for 12hr and print any new line as they appear on a usb epson receipt printer.
Can I run an expect match and send line to printer or should I be looking to print from the capture file. Going round in circle as not sure what the best approach is.
Cheers
