Expect
I have a file consisting of a list of ip address, one per line, a seedfile if you will.

I have a file name <ip address>.push for each ip address contained in the seedfile

I want to be able to open and read the seedfile assigning the ip to a variable, then open the associated <ip address>.push file and send each line one by one.

this is what I got so far ..

#! /usr/local/bin/expect --
puts "[exec clear]"
# Open Seedfile
#=============================================================
set ifil [open "sss" r]
#
# Main Body. While reading the seedfile, Assign current ip to a variable, use that variable assignment to open the assoicated push file.
#=============================================================
while { [gets $ifil host] >=0 } {
puts "$host\n"
set pfil [open '$host.push' r] THIS IS ACTUALLY THE PROBLEM
#set pfil [open "$host.push" r]
puts "$pfil\n"
}

ok got a little further ...

set ifil [open "listofips" r]
while { [gets $ifil host] >=0 } {
puts "$host\n"
#set f [open $host.push]
set f [open static.push] I want to use the $host var in the filename.
while {[gets $f line] >= 0} {
puts $line
}
close $f
}
close $ifil

pid

pid(n)                                                         Tcl Built-In Commands                                                        pid(n)

__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

NAME

       pid - Retrieve process identifiers

SYNOPSIS

       pid ?fileId?
_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       If  the  fileId  argument is given then it should normally refer to a process pipeline created with the open command.  In this case the pid
       command will return a list whose elements are the process identifiers of all the processes in the pipeline, in order.   The  list  will  be
       empty if fileId refers to an open file that is not a process pipeline.  If no fileId argument is given then pid returns the process identi-
       fier of the current process.  All process identifiers are returned as decimal strings.

EXAMPLE

       Print process information about the processes in a pipeline using the SysV ps program before reading the output of that pipeline:

              set pipeline [open "| zcat somefile.gz | grep foobar | sort -u"]
              # Print process information
              exec ps -fp [pid $pipeline] >@stdout
              # Print a separator and then the output of the pipeline
              puts [string repeat - 70]
              puts [read $pipeline]
              close $pipeline

KEYWORDS
