Expect: Parsing/evaluating lines of numbers

There *has* to be an elegant way to do this in Expect...

I have a command that returns lines of numbers. Like:

prompt% mycommand --loop=5
9 4956 4951 4951 4956
9 4960 4951 4951 4956
9 4956 4951 4951 4956
9 4956 4951 4951 4956
9 4956 4951 4951 4956
prompt%

All numbers must be inside a given interval (eg. 4900-5000 in the case
above). If they are not I must report which column that has the number
outside the interval (column 0 above).

I could start a lot of bash and/or C programming, but I would rather
keep it all in the Expect script that I am using to invoke the command
from anyway.

Any suggestions?

NE_SET_REQUEST_E(3)						neon API reference					       NE_SET_REQUEST_E(3)

NAME
ne_set_request_expect100 - function to enable Expect: 100-continue support SYNOPSIS
#include <ne_request.h> void ne_set_request_expect100 (ne_request *request, int flag); DESCRIPTION
An extension introduced in the HTTP/1.1 specification was the use of the Expect: 100-continue header. This header allows an HTTP client to be informed of the expected response status before the request message body is sent: a useful optimisation for situations where a large message body is to be sent. The ne_set_request_expect100 function can be used to enable this feature by passing the flag parameter as any non-zero integer. Warning Unfortunately, if this header is sent to a server which is not fully compliant with the HTTP/1.1 specification, a deadlock occurs resulting in a temporarily "hung" connection. neon will recover gracefully from this situation, but only after a 15 second timeout. It is highly recommended that this option is not enabled unless it is known that the server in use correctly implements Expect: 100-continue support. SEE ALSO
