Yep, I know exactly what you mean... although that shouldn't hinder my solution above unless the uptime output doesn't contain "average:". I had the same problem as you with a large number of systems and expect, just trying to find regex that matched the various "password:", "Password:", "password: ", etc. and shell prompts was a challenge. Sometimes it's simpler to just issue a PS1=expectshellprompt: or similar as the first command!

IGAWK(1) Utility Commands IGAWK(1)
NAME
igawk - gawk with include files
SYNOPSIS
igawk [ all gawk options ] -f program-file [ -- ] file ...

DESCRIPTION
Igawk is a simple shell script that adds the ability to have ``include files'' to gawk(1).
AWK programs for igawk are the same as for gawk, except that, in addition, you may have lines like
@include getopt.awk
in your program to include the file getopt.awk from either the current directory or one of the other directories in the search path.
OPTIONS
See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.
EXAMPLES
cat << EOF > test.awk
@include getopt.awk
BEGIN {
while (getopt(ARGC, ARGV, "am:q") != -1)
...
}
EOF
igawk -f test.awk
