Expect Script - Variables are Empty immediately after "Setting" Them?
Hello All,
I have embedded some expect code inside a Bash script I'm writing, but for some reason any variable I 'set' to something is
showing as empty immediately on the next line...
I haven't run into this problem before so I'm not sure what it could be...? I'm guessing it has something to do with the code
being embedded in another script..?
Here's my Code:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Here, in Bash Script"
# other stuff.....:......
/usr/bin/expect - << EOF
set my_var "Hello World"
puts "my_var = $my_var\n"
EOF
echo "Back from Expect Script"
exit 0
And my Output:
Code:
Here, in Bash Script
my_var =
Back from Expect Script
Anyone know why the variables are NOT being set? I'm Stumpped..!!!
Any thoughts would be very much appreciated.
Thanks in Advance,
Matt

Figured it out...!!
You need to escape the '$' in front of any/all variables. I think this is due to using the "<<" which is open to variable expansion, so
I think that's why they need to be escaped...
So if the code is like this, it will work:
Code:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Here, in Bash Script"
# other stuff.....:......
/usr/bin/expect - << EOF
set my_var "Hello World"
puts "my_var = \$my_var\n"
EOF
echo "Back from Expect Script"
exit 0
*Notice the '\' in front of "\$my_var" in the puts statement...
And my Output:
Code:
Here, in Bash Script
my_var = Hello World
Back from Expect Script
Hopefully that helps someone in the same predicament I was in...

Locale::Codes::Script(3pm) Perl Programmers Reference Guide Locale::Codes::Script(3pm)NAME
Locale::Codes::Script - standard codes for script identification
SYNOPSIS
use Locale::Codes::Script;
$script = code2script('phnx'); # 'Phoenician'
$code = script2code('Phoenician'); # 'Phnx'
$code = script2code('Phoenician',
LOCALE_CODE_NUMERIC); # 115
@codes = all_script_codes();
@scripts = all_script_names();
DESCRIPTION
The "Locale::Codes::Script" module provides access to standards codes used for identifying scripts, such as those defined in ISO 15924.
Most of the routines take an optional additional argument which specifies the code set to use. If not specified, the default ISO 15924
four-letter codes will be used.
SUPPORTED CODE SETS
There are several different code sets you can use for identifying scripts. A code set may be specified using either a name, or a constant
that is automatically exported by this module.
For example, the two are equivalent:
$script = code2script('phnx','alpha');
$script = code2script('phnx',LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA);
The codesets currently supported are:
alpha, LOCALE_SCRIPT_ALPHA
This is a set of four-letter (capitalized) codes from ISO 15924 such as 'Phnx' for Phoenician. It also includes additions to this set
included in the IANA language registry.
The Zxxx, Zyyy, and Zzzz codes are not used.
This is the default code set.
num, LOCALE_SCRIPT_NUMERIC
This is a set of three-digit numeric codes from ISO 15924 such as 115 for Phoenician.
ROUTINES
code2script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
script2code ( NAME [,CODESET] )
script_code2code ( CODE ,CODESET ,CODESET2 )
all_script_codes ( [CODESET] )
all_script_names ( [CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script ( CODE ,NEW_NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::Script::add_script ( CODE ,NAME [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script ( CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_alias ( NAME ,NEW_NAME )
Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_alias ( NAME )
Locale::Codes::Script::rename_script_code ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::Script::add_script_code_alias ( CODE ,NEW_CODE [,CODESET] )
Locale::Codes::Script::delete_script_code_alias ( CODE [,CODESET] )
These routines are all documented in the Locale::Codes::API man page.
