and i want to write an expect script for login in the router, give the command to dislay these stats and then store them in the script variables to use them .
I am able to log-in the router and give the command but not able to use regex for parsing the expect_out buffer.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,

control_rancid
control_rancid(1) General Commands Manual control_rancid(1)NAME
control_rancid - run rancid for devices of a group
SYNOPSIS
control_rancid [-V] [-m mail_rcpt] [-r device_name] group
DESCRIPTION
control_rancid is a sh(1) script to parse a group's router.db(5), run rancid for each of the devices, possibly re-run rancid for devices
that failed collection, e-mail diffs, and e-mail error reports.
The command-line options are as follows:
-V Prints package name and version strings.
-m mail_rcpt
Specify the recipient of diff mail, which is normally rancid-<group>. The argument may be a single address, multiple comma
separated addresses, or -m may be specified multiple times.
-r device_name
Specify the name, as it appears in the router.db, of a particular device to collect and generate diffs for. The device must be
marked "up".
The -r option alters the subject line of the diff mail. It will begin with <group name>/<device name> rather than just the group
name alone.
control_rancid is normally (and best) run via rancid-run(1) which provides a locking mechanism on a group basis and saves output in a log
file for each group.
