I need to use Euphoria to send a simple string via telnet protocol. Using the telnet program works:
irv@Mint18 ~ $ telnet localhost 5401 Trying 127.0.0.1... Connected to localhost. Escape character is '^]'. /> set /autopilot/settings/heading-bug-deg 180
But, of course, I need to send the strings from Euphoria, not by typing them into an x-term. I have tried to use the std/sockets library (Eu 4.1) with no success, because I don't understand it at all. Can someone help with a simple example?
I don't understand. Do you need to set up a pty and do VT102 emulation for a user over the console or something? Why wouldn't this work?
sockets:socket sock = sockets:create(sockets:AF_INET, sockets:SOCK_STREAM, 0) if sockets:connect(sock, "127.0.0.1:5401") != sockets:OK then -- handle error and abort? end if sequence datum = receive(sock, 0) if match("/> ", datum) then _ = sockets:send(sock, "set /autopilot/settings/heading-bug-deg 180\r\n", 0) end if _ = sockets:close(sock)
