Hi,
How to remove unwanted output that comes from executing system api?

for eg:
when i execute system("telnet 127.0.0.1") i want the output to start with login and then password and then directly the command prompt,how can i remove the output that gets generated before showing the prompt?

Which language are you coding in?

How about writing a shellscript that would filter the output as desired and run that via the system() function?

What are you trying to achieve? To run a telnet session from a C program?
