pexpect module

[Gianluca Trombetta]

hmmm, i'm not so stupid...:-).
The command ls -l | more was an example...i'm not really need to run ls -l |
more in an automate program.
But I need to run some cisco commands like "show ip bgp summary", this
command print a table and put a "More" by default, if the table is too big
for a single terminal screen.
So I need to remove this behavior because if I match the " --More-- " with
expect module i can match only the first one "More", then this the program
crash and receives a timeout.
