I am trying to figure out how to pass a command-line argument into an expect
script.
For example, suppose I have a script called update.exp. The first few lines
of update.exp are as follows:
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn $env(SHELL)
expect "$ "
send -- "telnet node$1\r"
expect "login: "
...etc.
I want to be able to execute the script from the command line with a single
argument, and then use that argument as variable $1 in the script. So if I
do this:
$./update.exp 123
the script will telnet to node123.
The man pages suggest that this might be possible, but I haven't been able
to make it work. If it matters, I'm using expect version 5.28.1.
Any help would be appreciated.
