I checked that URL, I do not see what EOS stands for and how it is  
used.

Ahh, sorry, I was looking for EOS, not “Strings can continue across  
multiple input lines”. How would this work if i use srvcheck on  
multiple servers that can be stored in an array?

This syntax, called a “here-document”, was just a short-cut way for me  
to  
include a test dataset directly in the program, instead of reading it in  
from  
a file.

string = \<\<FOOBAR  
This is a long  
multi-line string  
FOOBAR

If you run srvcheck across multiple servers, you should just be able to  
concatenate all the strings together. The last code example I posted  
(with  
the regexp scan) didn’t use an array at all.

HTH,

Brian.
