WaitForString didn't wait forever [1]

Hi support,

I tested the xshell_screen.vbs in the installed script folder.
It should be wait for input string "aaa" and then execute command "cat /etc/passwd", but it still executed the command even I didn't input anything.

Does the WaitForString() has default waiting time? I can't find the description in the documents.

Thanks.

Program Ver. : Xshell 5

Hello,

WaitForString does not have a timeout. However, there does seem to be an issue in the current version. We will confirm and correct the issue as soon as possible.

Instead of using WaitForString, you can try using the WaitForStrings API.

For example,

Dim indexOfStrs, waitStrs
waitStrs = Array("aaa", "bbb")
indexOfStrs = xsh.Screen.WaitForStrings(waitStrs, 0) => 0 means there is no timeout.
xsh.Screen.Send(indexOfStrs)

Thank you!
