This is a proprietary front-end user interface riding on (what I believe to be) a Linux shell and, as such, the UI prevents access to the Linux command set.
The eventual command that I want to "send" is
There can be anywhere from one to ten files stored in the directory, so I need to parse the expect_out(buffer) for each file name, load that name into the variable configfile and then execute the above command, the repeat for as many files that are listed (I imagine using something like a foreach statement).
This is my simple expect scritpt:
#!/usr/bin/expect -f
match_max 100000
set timeout -1
spawn telnet $IP
expect "#"
send -- "shell\r"
expect "*Ready*"
send -- "init\r"
expect "*Ready*"
send -- "readsensor \r"
expect -- "*" <<< Output of this is a 2 digit number

I am trying to use send and receive using expect. the expect_out(buffer) is working fine while it is running it as foreground. But the same script when it is ran as background, the expect_out(buffer) errored out.

Hello "expect" experts
I am new at Expect. I have searched for a little while how to capture multiple lines with Expect and I am almost succeeded on that but I don't get all the lines of a command's output that the script executes on a server.
Here is how my script works in a nutshell -

getopt
getopt(1) General Commands Manual getopt(1)NAME
getopt - Parses command line flags and arguments
SYNOPSIS
getopt format tokens
DESCRIPTION
The getopt command is used to parse a list of tokens using a format that specifies expected flags and arguments. A flag is a single ASCII
letter and, when followed by a : (colon), is expected to take a modifying argument that may or may not be separated from it by one or more
tabs or spaces. (You can include multi-byte characters in arguments, but not as flag letters.)
The getopt command completes processing when it has read all tokens or when it encounters the special token -- (double dash). It then out-
puts the processed flags, a --, and any remaining tokens.
If a token fails to match a flag, getopt writes a message to standard error.
NOTES
In the csh, use the following command to run getopt:
set argv=`getopt flag_string $*`
EXAMPLES
The following is an example of the use of getopt in a skeleton shell script to parse options:
#!/bin/sh # parse command line into arguments set -- `getopt a:bc $*` # check result of parsing if [ $? != 0 ] then
exit 1 fi while [ $1 != -- ] do
case $1 in
-a) # set up the -a flag
AFLG=1
AARG=$2
shift;;
-b) # set up the -b flag
BFLG=1;;
-c) # set up the -c flag
CFLG=1;;
esac
shift # next flag done shift # skip double dash # now do the work . . .
The following are all equivalent arguments to the script:
-a ARG -b -c -- A B C -a ARG -bc -- A B C -aARG -b -c -- A B C -b -c -a ARG -- A B C
