Simple Command issue

Hmm...  Just a guess, but in the newer version of NCM they collapse multiple returns into one, which I wish they wouldn't do.   That means if you previously left several blank lines before to automatically press enter to prompts like "Destination filename [startup-config]", they don't work quite right now.   I would recommend trying something like this...

copy run start

startup-config

dir

or possibly try it with multiple CRLF's instead.  I usually use \n, but you could try:

copy run start${CRLF}${CRLF}${CRLF}

put some extra in just to make sure...

Thanks for the reply Craig,

copy run start

startup-config

dir

worked for me. The CRLF, even when using multiple, still would not simulate an enter press like I wanted it to.

Thanks again!

Yea, I wasn't sure if it would, which is why I resorted to the "dummy" dir command which I knew would work.  That's how I've been getting around this problem.

@@Solarwinds, you really need to fix this!!!   Stop getting rid of the extra carriage returns in our scripts!!  It used to work great, if you wanted an extra return, you just put a return in your script.   Now if you tried something like this:

copy run start

show ver

It would copy your running config to a file called either "show" or "show ver"!

It was so simple before and now we're having to do tricks in order to get the scripting to work like we want.  So please change it back and let scripts we put in be taken as-is and not translated at all!!

Ok, to make sure Solarwinds takes notice, I've created a voting topic on this to get them to go back to the old behavior...

Go vote here!!
