: 1. How can I assign the output of an external command to a variable ?
:
This feature is available in C-Kermit 6.1, currently in Beta test:
http://www.columbia.edu/kermit/ck61.html
and in Kermit 95 1.1.13 and later: \fcommand(external-command).
: 2. How can I make SCRIPT accepting a string w/ spaces ? e.g. {part two}
: ? {} will be send :-(
:
See pages 459-460 of "Using C-Kermit". Include ~s or \32 where you want
a space. Note: the SCRIPT command is a relic from the very early releases
of C-Kermit, kept only for backwards compatibility. It is not very flexible
or powerful, or easy to use. The newer methods, documented in chapters 17
through 19 of the manual, are recommended instead.
: 3. How can I log I/O traffic ? TRANSACTION only seems to log my output
:
As explained in the manual, use LOG SESSION for this.
