expect script issue
Hi All,

I have the problem to run the commands in expect script from shell script.
Mentioned below is the shell and expect script.

##Shell Script##

Code:
cat bscfile.txt | while read line 
do 
          NODE=$line 
         ./expect.sh $line $NAME
done

line= 1st input
NAME=2nd input

##expect script##
Code:
#!/usr/local/bin/expect -f 
#set -x
set NODENAME [lindex $argv 0]   
set NAME [lindex $argv 1] 
set timeout 50 
spawn eaw "$NODENAME\r" 
expect "<"   
sleep 01 
send "xxx:xxx=xxx,xxx=$NAME;\r"    # here it automatically gets the name.
expect "<"
sleep 00 
send "exit;\r"

By using the above script
I am able to login using node name(which is basically the BSC Node).Also
my first command is working fine.

Input of nodename and cellname i am getting from shell script and is automatically taking that values of NODENAME and NAME

But for me the next challenge is to run the next commands ..

In above expect script we have

send "xxx:xxx=xxx,xxx=$NAME;\r"

and output of this command is:

Mentioned output is
G=1

so my next command should take these values of G1 which is 1
by fetching that selected value "1" automatically and put that value 1 in the space provided in the below mentioned command

<xxx:xx=xxx- ; # By defining "1" in the space command should run

After this it finally exit.

How can i do that. How should i define the variables for the next commands also?

..I am totally stuck..

Somebody help me in this ASAP....

Thanks in advance !!!
