Re: What to "expect".... ?

Hello,

Let's have a look again at your code. Your [expect] statement boils
down to:

expect "pattern1" {action1} "pattern2" {action2} ... "patternx"
{actionx}

Here, [expect] will test incoming output against the patterns in the
statement in their specified order, i.e, it will attempt first to match
"pattern1" then "pattern2" and so on. As soon as a pattern is matched,
the corresponding action is performed and the [expect] statement
terminates, passing control to the next statement in the script.

If you want to look as well for the other patterns, write successive
expect statement for each pattern and the associated action, or use
[exp_continue] as shown in the example below:

expect {
   -i $spawnId
   "pattern1" {
      action1
      exp_continue
   }
   "pattern2" {
      action2
      exp_continue
   }
   "pattern3"
      action3
      # expect statement will end here after pattern3
      # is matched and action3 is performed
   }
}
