This is brilliant!!!! Thank you so much for this.. I've been fooling around with this issue for over a year and never found anything satisfactory.

Here's what I was using so far... it does the job..but there was a need to match for a pattern anyway...

$sshMTT1->clear_accum();
$sshMTT1->expect(10,[qr/\$[\s]*/=> sub {$sshMTT1->send("grep <<<<<<*PA
+TTERN>*>>>>");}]);
@Output = $sshMTT1->expect(5);
$sshMTT1->send("\cC");
$exactOutput = $Output[3];
$exactOutput =~ tr/\cM//d;

The variable $exactOutput had more or less the value I was looking for and I used to pattern match on this variable... Primitive.. compared to the solution here!!!

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
