Hi, we have a legacy vt100-compatible app that has ncurses-like menus. We are looking at automating some input functions into that app (no other API available). However, for error handling we'll also need some way of screen scraping it (all errors on the screen would start with "***", so theoretically some sort of pattern matching would work).
In my searching to date, I've come across Tkterm, and I do have a bit of familiarity with Expect (used it for automating telnet and ftp things in the past). However, doing a search for "tkterm screen scrape" doesn't come up with anything, so I'm wondering if some has in fact been able to do this at all.
Failing that, I'm open to any other suggestions on how to try this :)
