I'm writing a script that will find out what router model and what IOS version a Cisco router is using. I'm writing it in Python using the SecureCRT api. The script sends a show version command that displays information about the router, including the information I need. I then use the SecureCRT api to pull all of that text from the application screen and then I iterate through the text to and use if statements to match router models to see which one it is. Everytime i run the script it runs and doesnt error out but the "new.txt" file is blank.
# $language = "python"
# $interface = "1.0"
crt.Screen.Synchronous = True
ModelIOSScreen = ""
def Main():
ModelIOS()
def ModelIOS():
crt.Screen.Send("show version" + chr(13))
crt.Screen.WaitForString(">")
Screen = crt.Screen.Get(-1, 1, 50, 70)
ModelIOSScreen = str(Screen.split(" ", -1))
RouterModel = ""
for word in ModelIOSScreen:
if word == "2811":
RouterModel = "2811"
elif word == "2801":
RouterModel = "2801"
elif word == "CISCO2911/K9":
RouterModel = "2911"
file = open("new.txt", "w")
file.write(ModelIOSScreen)
