VBS Script Help Part III

Hello Experts,

Can someone please tell me why the text 'duplex' in case 3, doesn't call the following section of the script:

Dim I_vCommands(100)
I_vCommands(0) = "READSTRING_DUP"
'I_vCommands(1) = "show run"
'I_vCommands(2) = "show ip bgp"

Open in new window


The full script is as follows:

# $language = "VBScript"
# $interface = "1.0"

' ASSUMPTION: file being 'tailed' contains information
'             similar to:
'   Jan 5 18:26:13 device01 9927: Jan 5 18:26:12: %LINK-3-UPDOWN: Interface POS5/2, changed state to down

    ' Make sure that we are running in Synchronous mode so
    ' that when WaitForStrings() finds something, we can
    ' capture the current line without risk of it already
    ' having flown by on the screen.  This slows things down
    ' a bit, but provides insurance against errors due to
    ' SecureCRT and the script running asynchronously.
    crt.Screen.Synchronous = true

    ' Start tailing a file...
    crt.Screen.Send "tail tailfile.txt" & vbcr

  ' Example #1: Uses WaitForString to look for just the text
  '             we care about.  Once the text is found, the
  '             line on which the text was located is captured
  '             and a piece of information is parsed using the
  '             Split() builtin VBScript method.
    CaptureJustTheLinesWeCareAbout
	
  ' Example #2: Uses WaitForString to detect when every new line
  '             arrives from the remote.  Each line of text is
  '             captured, and the Instr() builtin VBScript
  '             function is used to detect the presence of the
  '             specific text we care about.  Iff it is present,
  '             the Split() builtin VBScript method is used to
  '             parse out the relevant piece of information.
  '
  '             The benefit of this method over
  '             CaptureJustTheLinesWeCareAbout is that we
  '             can retrieve information from the line if
  '             the text we care about comes prior to the
  '             relevant piece of information that we would
  '             like to display as part of our notification.
  '
  '             To enable this example, comment out the statement
  '             on line 29 and uncomment the line below:
