Telnet Task - how to work with variables in write commands

[An...@mn.man.de]

I tried to use properties in telnet write - tags,
but the properties don't get replaced before execution.

f.e.
     <telnet
          server="${deployment.server}"
          initialCR="YES">
       <read>ogin:</read>
       <write>wasadm</write>
       <write>was#9436</write>
       <read>ome/wasadm</read>
       ...

       <read>ome/wasadm</read>
       <write>cd projects/${ant.projekt.name}</write>

       <write>exit</write>
       <read>logout</read>
     </telnet>

I also recognized that working with <env> tags is not
possible in telnet tasks.

f.e.
       <env>export ANT_PROJEKT=${ant.projekt.name}</env>
       <write>cd projects</write>
       <write>cd $ANT_PROJEKT</write>

Is there any possibility to work with variables in telnet tags?

Any help is very much appreciated.

thanks in advance

Re: Telnet Task - how to work with variables in write commands

[James Bullington <sh...@yahoo.com>]

I am able to do the following in a write command:

<read>login:</read>
<write string="${username}"/>

I am using ant 1.3.  Are you sure that optional.jar
and NetComponents.jar are in your CLASSPATH?
i.e.
CLASSPATH=c:\ant\lib\optional.jar;c:\ant\lib\NetComponents.jar;%CLASSPATH%

I have not tried to name the server as a variable, 
but the username and password are passed in as
variables (i.e. -Dusername=jim)

Hope this helps, or at least provides a clue.
