Save an specific part of a expect_out in a variable
I have a expect file like this
Code:
#!/opt/tools/unsupported/expect-5.39/bin/expect

spawn ssh -l user ip
expect_after eof {exit 0}
set timeout 10
log_file /report.txt

expect "Password:" { send "pasword\r" }
expect "$ " { send "date\r" }

expect "$ " { send "readlink /somelink\r" }

set CCM_BUILD $expect_out(buffer)

send_log "CCM: $CCM_BUILD"

expect "$ " { send "date\r" }
expect "$ " { send "exit\r" }
~

The result of the readlink will be a number like 447. that's what I want in my log file. but what I'm getting is:
Code:

447
-bash-4.1$ date

how can I get just CCM: 447?
