Hello. I would just like to inquire about the difference of wait and waitln in a setup? I've been using it on a macro in which has a wait for "Username:" and "Password:" strings. What would be best and should I use flushrecv for every wait command? Thank you.

Hi,

I think that if you want to wait "Username:" and new line, waitln is better.

It's better to call flushrecv if the string you're waiting for could come from the host.

Thanks,

I have tried both wait and waitln for it. I do have a timeout too, since some switches don't have a Username prompt. But there seems to be a problem?

Code snippet:

timeout = 8

waitln 'Username:'
if result=0 goto swPass
if result=1 goto swUser
flushrecv

Any suggestions? Thanks.

When you login to a switch like this in manually,

Username:
foo

use "waitln" macro command to that switch. But like this,

Username: foo

use "wait" macro command. Please see sample script "login.ttl" in C:\Program Files (x86)\teraterm.

If you care about buffer, call flushrecv before wait or waitln.
