I think that I have a solution to my problem... an array.
I talked it over with a programmer at work, and he showed me a small (very small) program that does what I am wanting to do, display a value (or string) based on two known inputs. Now the only problem that I have is to organize the array (easier said than done, it will require A LOT of typing - "buf[20][100+]"; hopefully I can come up with a script file that will make my life easier).
I appreciate your input and help. Like I said, it wasn't what I wanted to hear, but sometimes the truth hurts
Thanks agian!
Now... off to scripting

expect_expectl
EXPECT_EXPECTL(3) 1 EXPECT_EXPECTL(3)
expect_expectl - Waits until the output from a process matches one of the patterns, a specified time period has passed, or anEOFis seen
SYNOPSIS
int expect_expectl (resource $expect, array $cases, [array &$match])
DESCRIPTION
Waits until the output from a process matches one of the patterns, a specified time period has passed, or an EOF is seen.
If $match is provided, then it is filled with the result of search. The matched string can be found in $match[0]. The match substrings
(according to the parentheses) in the original pattern can be found in $match[1], $match[2], and so on, up to $match[9] (the limitation of
libexpect).
PARAMETERS
o $expect
- An Expect stream, previously opened with expect_popen(3).
o $cases
- An array of expect cases. Each expect case is an indexed array, as described in the following table:
