Generating binary output from Tclsh

IVAN PEPELNJAK · ‎01-10-2008

I've tried to port a simple Tcl full-screen editor to IOS and failed completely as IOS tclsh escapes control characters written by the puts command. For example, the following escape sequence should clear the screen, but as the ESCAPE character is displayed as ^[, it doesn't work:

router(tcl)#puts "\033\[2J"

^[[2J

router(tcl)#

Any ideas how to persuade the router to display raw binary data?

Add this to your script:

exec "terminal international"

For example:

proc clearScreen { } {

exec "terminal international"

puts "\033\[2J"

exec "terminal no international"

}
