Question : how to deal with device without term length 0

[pengembaratemporer]

Sorry if this is repeated question. But searched does not find result.

how to send command if user privileges is not allowed for terminal length 0 command ?

basically it should expect for :

1. “—More—“, and send spaces (if result is longer than term length lines).
2. prompt (if result is short).

i read about “expect_string”, if not mistaken. We can say expect for “—More—“, But the problem is the output sometimes dont need for more.

Obvious solution is leverage the privilege so this user can allowed to send term le 0, but unfortunately, it is not possible at the moment.

thanks.

Yes, you could construct a loop using a regex and a logical or i.e. something like:

while True:
    pattern=r"More|#"
    new_output = net_connect.send_command(command, expect_string=pattern)
    output += new_output
    if "More" in new_output:
        # send a space-bar or whatever is needed to continue through pagination
    elif "#" in new_output:
         # all done
         break
