From VB to Python

[sdibias]

Hi Folks!

Just switched my CRT over to my Mac and need help converting my TAC+ login scripts over to python. Below is a sample VB I use, hoping someone can post the equivalent in Python?

#$language = "VBScript"
#$interface = "1.0"

Sub main
  ' turn on synchronous mode so we don't miss any data
  crt.Screen.Synchronous = True

  ' Wait for a string that looks like "login: " or "Username: "
  crt.Screen.WaitForString "Username: "

  ' Send your username followed by a carriage return
  crt.Screen.Send "steve" & VbCr

  ' Wait for a string that looks like "password: " or "Password: "
  crt.Screen.WaitForString "assword:"

  ' Send your password followed by a carriage return
  crt.Screen.Send "123abc" & VbCr

' Wait for a string that looks like "login: " or ">: "
  crt.Screen.WaitForString ">"

  ' Send your username followed by a carriage return
  crt.Screen.Send "en" & VbCr

  ' Wait for a string that looks like "password: " or "Password: "
  crt.Screen.WaitForString "assword:"
 
 ' Send your password followed by a carriage return
  crt.Screen.Send "abc123" & VbCr

  ' turn off synchronous mode to restore normal input processing
  crt.Screen.Synchronous = False
End Sub

Hello sdibias,

Your best option is to use the script recorder.

For a simple logon script such as posted, I expect it won't need very much post editing and it will allow you to see the indents and structure required by Python.

It worked! I totally forgot about this feature, thanks for the reminder
