I've just reread your question for the third time and I still don't think I
get it. It sounds to me like you are "talking around" the problem, not
describing the actual problem.
What exactly are you trying to do? You're talking about needing "multiple
reads and writes" but I haven't a clue WHAT you are trying to read or write.
What specific command-line program are you trying to use here? Why does your
solution for remote machines not work for local machines?
And what's wrong with the telnet solution you describe if it gets the job
done? Is it just not elegant enough? It's perfectly valid to find a more
elegant solution if the one you have is clunky; I'm just trying to figure
out if the existing solution works at all or if you in big trouble because
you can't get something to work at all, even badly.
What operating system are you on and which Ant version are you using? That
can make a difference to the answer sometimes.

Subject: Looking for an Ant Task
I'm trying to find an Ant task that will let me work with a command-line
program with multiple read/writes.
The problem I've run into is how to communicate with this program
locally. For remote servers, I can use the <telnet> Ant task to telnet
to the remote machine, start up the and send the commands. Locally,
there's no Ant task that I know of which can do *multiple *reads and
writes to a program/shell/console.
The only solution I've found so far is to actually telnet into the local
machine, which allows me to use the <telnet> Ant task.
An example of what I mean:
<read>myprompt:</read>
<write>dosomething</write>
<read>Response from dosomething</read>
<write>dosomething2</write>
<read>Response from dosomething2</read>
Thanks,
Shay
