I've seen many tutorials or examples [1][2] that include expect "assword", and note that you don't have to chop off the 'p' to avoid problems with case-sensitivity. Expect supports regular expressions (by default or using the -re option) expect "*?assword:*" Expect supports caseless patterns expect -nocase "password:" [1] from NIST where the project originated http://expect.nist.gov/example/autopasswd [2] http://floppsie.comp.glam.ac.uk/Glamorgan/gaius/scripting/5.html In the entymological sense, I wonder if the prevalence of one particular early example has led to this current indelicateness. Or, perhaps -nocase and -re options were added later. -- Greg Rundlett Web Developer - Initiative in Innovative Computing http://iic.harvard.edu camb 617-384-5872 nbpt 978-225-8302 m. 978-764-4424 -skype/aim/irc/twitter freephile http://profiles.aim.com/freephile
