VI Editor Help?

Im normally work with VB and Im extremely new to VI, so what I ask may or may not make sense. I have the below code written by someone else that I am trying to edit using VI. What this does is once logged into a piece of equipment it runs a series of status commands. The "T1E1Trunk1" in the code may or may not be in the equipment I am running the command on. What I need is if T1E1Trunk1 doesnt exist, is for the code to ignore this portion and keep going. Hope this makes sense.


Code:
exp_send "ls -f T1E1Trunk1 ( OperationalState, AdministrativeState, AlarmStatus); \r" 
  expect {

 
   -re  ".*OperationalState...(\[0-9a-zA-Z_\#\?\,  ]+).*AdministrativeState...(\[0-9a-zA-Z_\#\?\,  ]+).*AlarmStatus...(\[0-9a-zA-Z_\#\?\,\|  ]+).*>"
 {

       set T1OperationalState $expect_out(1,string)
       set T1AdministrativeState   $expect_out(2,string)
       set T1AlarmStatus   $expect_out(3,string)
       
       puts " T1E1Trunk1: $T1OperationalState $T1AdministrativeState $T1AlarmStatus \r"
     

       }

  timeout  {
           TIMEOUT
            EXIT
            return }

         }
