Hello,

I wrote my first script.
It is logging to 2 Router's console\CLI and executing few commands.
Afterwards in Router's console I have outputs which shows me for example IP Addresing

Output:
R1#sho ip int bri

R1#

My question is how to save those outputs to my Desktop in text document format.

import getpass
import sys
import telnetlib

print ("Script starts")

HOST = "71.61.14.36"

tn = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, "33153",)
print ("Telnetting to device")

tn2 = telnetlib.Telnet(HOST, "33154",)
print ("Telnetting to device")


print ("Executing commands")
tn.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn.write("enable\n")
tn.write("show ip interface brief\n")
tn.write("show interfaces description\n")


print ("Executing commands")
tn2.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn2.write("\n\n\n\n")
tn2.write("enable\n")
tn2.write("show ip interface brief\n")
tn2.write("show interfaces description\n")
tn2.close()

I don't have the answer, but there is an impressive wrapper of telnetlib with logging capabilities in the robotframework source code, you could perhaps find ideas here.
