title: Reading 'ipconfig' with Python-Pexpect
body: <p>I'm running freeSSHd on win XP as an SSH server and it's returning CMD shell for authenticated users, and I want to get the result of sending 'ipconfig' command automatically when I run the python script, I got the connection working but I have an issue with reading the result for each field and putting it in separate variable, the result for my code is '4' instead of '10' > first digit in IP address, I don't know where did number 4 come from. Any idea?</p>
  
  <p>Output of Win XP ipconfig</p>
