Top Forums UNIX for Beginners Questions & Answers Expect scripting issue, works interactively when doing commands in cli, does not work in script Post 303038386 by aldowski on Monday 2nd of September 2019 01:08:24 AM

Hi;
Thanks for replying, sorry for my delayed response.

Code:
cat test.sh
#!/bin/bash

expect -c "

set multilinetext 'first one two
second one two three
third one
fourth one two three four
fifth one two'

;"

Error:
 ./test.sh
wrong # args: should be "set varName ?newValue?"
    while executing
"set multilinetext 'first one two"


It looks that the "-c" commands calling parameter in bash, can create number of different errors.

I am now trying to separate all Expect from Bash - Expect dedicated files called from main bash files.

It seems to have lots of benefits, also some drawbacks.

Please wrap all code, files, input & output/errors in CODE tags for clarity.
It also preserves spaces for indenting or fixed-width data.

NAME
lldb -- The debugger SYNOPSIS
lldb [-hvdexw] [-a arch] [-l script-language] [-s lldb-commands] [-n process-name] [-p pid] [[--] <PROGRAM-ARG1> <PROGRAM-ARG2> ...] DESCRIPTION
lldb is the command line interface for the LLDB debugger library. lldb can debug C, C++, Objective-C, and Objective-C++ programs. The following options are available: -h, --help Prints out the usage information for the lldb debugger. The --help text may be more up-to-date and authoritative than the command line options described in this man page. -v, --version Prints out the version number of the lldb debugger. -a, --arch arch Specifies which architecture lldb will use when launching the specified program (assuming the provided executable is built for multi- ple architectures.) -f, --file filename Specifies the executable file that will be launching / attaching to. -n, --attach-name process-name Specifies the name of a currently-running process to attach to. (or the name of a process to wait for if -w is used.) -w, --wait-for When used in concert with -n process-name-E, indicates that lldb should wait for a new process of that name to be started -- and attach to it as early in the process-launch as possible. -p, --attach-pid pid Specifies a currently running process that lldb should attach to. -l, --script-language language Tells the debugger to use the specified scripting language for user-defined scripts, rather than the default. Valid scripting lan- guages that can be specified include Python, Perl, Ruby and Tcl. Currently only the Python extensions have been implemented. -d, --debug Tells the debugger to print out extra information for debugging itself. -s, --source filename Tells lldb to read in and execute the file "filename", which should contain lldb commands. -e, --editor Instructs lldb to open source files using the host's "external editor" mechanism. -x, --no-lldbinit Do not automatically parse any '.lldbinit' files. (If you don't provide -f then the first argument will be the file to be debugged so 'lldb -- <filename> [<ARG1> [<ARG2>]]' also works. Remember to end the options with "--" if any of your arguments have a "-" in them.) USING LLDB
In lldb there is a help command which can be used to find descriptions and examples of all lldb commands. To get help on "breakpoint set" you would type "help breakpoint set". There is also an apropos command which will search the help text of all commands for a given term -- this is useful for locating a command by topic. For instance, "apropos breakpoint" will list any command that has the word breakpoint in its help text. FILES
lldb will read settings/aliases/commands from three files at startup, if they exist. First, it will read a ~/.lldbinit-debugger command file. If you are using the lldb command line interface, this is ~/.lldbinit-lldb. If you are using lldb inside a GUI debugger like Xcode this will be ~/.lldbinit-Xcode. This is a useful place to put settings that you want to apply only when a given lldb command interpreter is used. Second, ~/.lldbinit is read. Third, an .lldbinit file in the current working directory (where lldb is started) will be read. SEE ALSO
The LLDB project page http://lldb.llvm.org/ has many different resources for lldb users -- the gdb/lldb command equivalence page http://lldb.llvm.org/lldb-gdb.html can be especially helpful for users coming from gdb. BUGS
