It has been too long since I did expect programming but expect is really
an add on to TCL so you can't use bash/shell script type language you have to
get the arguments a la TCL.
Check out the expect
homepage http://expect.nist.gov/
it covers that question (and many others)

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
