Expect question
I have an expect script that appears to be working normally however for some reason, the remote side appears to be stripping off the variables from the awk command.

This is the original:
Code:
expect \"~]$\"
send \"sed 's/=/ /g;s/,/ /g' /home/file.txt | grep abc | awk '{print $6,$8}'

This is the error message:
Code:
~]$ sed 's/=/ /g;s/,/ /g' /home/file.txt | grep abc | awk '{print ,}'
awk: {print ,}
awk:        ^ syntax error
awk: {print ,}
awk:         ^ syntax error
awk: cmd. line:1: {print ,}
awk: cmd. line:1:          ^ unexpected newline or end of string

Any help would greatly be appreciated.

       See gawk(1) for a full description of the AWK language and the options that gawk supports.

EXAMPLES

       cat << EOF > test.awk
       @include getopt.awk
