Synopsis

<bp-manager.con-string>.wait-then-write console [-regexp] [-e] "output-string" "input-string"

Wait for the output of the text output-string on console. When the text is found, write input-string to the console. This command can only be run from a script branch where it suspends the branch until the string has been found in the output.

The -e flag allows specifying the input string using an Emacs-style keystroke, similar to input.

If -regexp is specified, the breakpoint string will be interpreted as a regular expression (regexp). The regexp syntax follows the common Perl style, as interpreted by the Hyperscan library https://hyperscan.io.

Note that the string is a Simics CLI string, and thus \ has to be escaped as \\ when writing the regexp.

Examples:

Wait for 3 digits:
```
$con.wait-then-write -regexp "\\d{3}"
```
Wait for a '4' somewhere between square brackets (note that in regular expressions, [] have special meanings, so must be escaped):
```
$con.wait-then-write -regexp "\\[.*4.*\\]"
```

Wait for a 3 characters or 6 curly braces:

$con.wait-then-write -regexp "\\w{3}|[{}]{6}"

For more information about regular expression syntax, see https://perldoc.perl.org/re.html.
