crt.Screen.ReadString does not behave as expected

[BjoernH]

Good day.


I'm trying to initialize a variable by capturing the hostname from a server:

Sub Main
    crt.Screen.Send "uname -n" & vbCr
    crt.Screen.WaitForString vbCr

    strResult = crt.Screen.ReadString(":~#")

    MsgBox strResult

End Sub

The SecureCRT session reads:

CPU2:ibcx1105vm002ssc001:~# uname -n
ibcx1105vm002ssc001
CPU2:ibcx1105vm002ssc001:~#

The strResult in the MsgBox shows this:

ibcx1105vm002ssc001
□]□[0mCPU2:ibcx1105vm002ssc001

instead of only the hostname (ibcx1105vm002ssc001).




Please advise.
