Are scripts still worth exploring?

Question

Still worth learning to expect? Because I have not seen new books on this topic? What would anyone recommend a good book for this book?

Answer 1

expect is best used to manage scripts that display requests and require a response. Many other languages ​​struggle with this and create deadlocks on stdin / stdout when trying to use both. Also expect to overcome some password problems (for example, when writing SSH scripts).

Having said that, there is no need to know, because many other languages ​​have a wait module (tcl and python) that provide the same behavior.
