Script help

Hi All,
I am using expect to carry out some automation tasks such as password changes on multiple nodes.

When spawning the session to relivant nodes we have a security warning prior to the prompt for the password. Is there a way of getting expect to only look for a string of words instead of the entire paragraph that is output ?

I have removed the top part of this warning however this is the sort of thing I am looking at (I have highlighted the string i would like expect to just wait for.

Code:
set timeout 20
set user [lindex $argv 0]
set password [lindex $argv 1]
spawn ssh "$user\@***********

Any help you can offer is much appreacited.

Just one example:
Code:
expect {
    # Send password at 'Password' prompt and tell expect to continue(i.e. exp_continue)
    # processing responses staying in this 'expect' block.
    # 'exp_continue' avoids having to write a another expect statement( think of it kinda like a loop, I said kinda )
  -re "\[P|p]assword:" { exp_send "$space1\r" 
                           exp_continue  }
  timeout              { return 1      }
  eof                  { return $expect_out(buffer) }
}
