Hello all,
I'm trying to do what I'll call "conditionnal interaction" with nrcmd program installed on Windows from a script (ideally coded with Python but almost anything else would be good too.).
The nearer a get from that goal is "interaction" (but not conditionnal). Which means that I can start the program (nrcmd) and send commands but I can read the nrcmd output only after all my commands are sent (I cannot read it immediatly after a command and then send another one based on the reply).
To make it simple and clearer. Say the server's job is to give apples and I want to chose those having the biggest qty:
shell> start appelServer
s> Yes?
c> I want apples.
s> I've got 10 green and 15 red. Do you want green or red?
c> Red.
s> Here there are. Bye.
Up to now, I did not manage to answer "red" or "green" based on the server reply. I have to send all my commands before getting a result. In my example I could only send:
c> I want apple
c> Red
Then get all the server replies... and finaly realize there were more green apples than red!
If nrcmd would be installed on Linux I could do this relatively easily using Python or Perl's modules. But it seems that Windows is not that "system-command / pipes" friendly.
So my questions are:
- Is there any way I could conditionnaly interact with nrcmd installed on Windows from a program?
- How?
- Is Cisco making available any API or extensions to interact conditionnaly with nrcmd on Windows?
Thanks for your time.
