Expect/tcl (not perl) logging troubles

My logs aren't correct. Im trying to log failure and successes, then use the resulting successes file "seed" to perform another function. Problem is that the log has only a single random entry.

Thanks in advance for the help !


Code:
!#/usr/bin/expect
set count 0 
set bcount 0 
set fcnb 923
set ifil [open "new" r]
while { [gets $ifil host] >=0 } {
set timeout 4
log_user 0
set err [open $fcnb.errlog w]
set oseed [open "seed" w]
   spawn ping -c1 $host
    expect { 
          "rtt" {
                set count [expr $count + 1] 
                puts "$count $host ping ok"
                puts $oseed "$host"
                #puts $oseed "$host\n"
                } 
        default {
                set bcount [expr $bcount + 1]
                puts "Error : $bcount $host ping nok"
                puts $err "$bcount $host ping nok"
                #continue
                }
           }
} 
close $ifil
close $oseed
close $err
# End ping while 
#sleep 5
puts "==============================================="
puts "loop through the file of \"good\" pings"
puts "==============================================="
set iseed [open "seed" r]
while { [gets $iseed ip] >=0 } {puts $ip}
close $iseed








The ouput

1 10.121.216.54 ping ok
2 10.121.218.106 ping ok
3 10.121.218.14 ping ok
Error : 1 153.89.89.234 ping nok
4 10.121.218.82 ping ok
Error : 2 135.99.89.89 ping nok
5 10.122.178.122 ping ok
===============================================
loop through the file of "good" pings
===============================================
10.122.178.122
