I am capturing command's output on remote host using Expect. The problem is that the command line arguments also getting print with the output in file and also need to print last two relevant columns (percentage used and its mounted point).
Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags.
It makes it far easier to read and preserves spaces for indenting or fixed-width/tabulated data.

expect_expectl
EXPECT_EXPECTL(3) 1 EXPECT_EXPECTL(3)expect_expectl - Waits until the output from a process matches one of the patterns, a specified time period has passed, or anEOFis seenSYNOPSIS
int expect_expectl (resource $expect, array $cases, [array &$match])
DESCRIPTION
Waits until the output from a process matches one of the patterns, a specified time period has passed, or an EOF is seen.
If $match is provided, then it is filled with the result of search. The matched string can be found in $match[0]. The match substrings
(according to the parentheses) in the original pattern can be found in $match[1], $match[2], and so on, up to $match[9] (the limitation of
libexpect).
PARAMETERS
o $expect
- An Expect stream, previously opened with expect_popen(3).
o $cases
- An array of expect cases. Each expect case is an indexed array, as described in the following table:
