Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting Expect pattern matching in the command output Post 303014889 by marsala on Thursday 22nd of March 2018 04:45:03 PM

This the real output:
>>> run_test_analysis()
[Info] Running DataCapture and Validation for Test(1).
[Info] Test(1) passed.
>>>

command run_test_analysis() will output Test(1) passed or failed. I want to catch the line:
[Info] Test(1) xxxxx.

Code:
.....
exp_send -i $bashId "run_test_analysis()\r"
expect -i $bashId -re "\[Info\] Test\(1\) .*\."    
set testResult [lindex [split $expect_out(0,string) " ."] end-1]
send_user "\nTest(1): $testResult\n"
....

I use different sequences in expect:
expect -i $bashId -re "\\\[Info\\\] Test\(1\) .*\."
expect -i $bashId -re "\\[Info\\] Test\(1\) .*\."
expect -i $bashId -re "\[Info\] Test\(1\) .*"
expect -i $bashId -re ".*Test(1).*"
expect -i $bashId -re ".* Test\(1\) .*"
expect -i $bashId -re ".*Test(1) \[a-z]*\."

Also tried global pattern match, no one work.
Can someone shed some light on it?
Thanks
