Pipe telnet session output to text file

joshlamerritt · 02-10-2004, 03:34 PM

I need someone to point me in the right direction. Basically, I need to pipe the output of a telnet session to a text file.

I need to be able to telnet into a network electronics device, run commands that produce a output that has about 10 full screens or more worth of data, and pipe this output to a text file.

I have tried a few different google searches, but just can't get going in the right direction. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Simplest thing would probably be to use the script command.

You are right...probably the easiest to use, but it is a bit ugly. I would have to weed out too much garbage.

Any other suggestions?
