Expect Scripting Procedures

Hi Expect Expert's ,

Thanks in advance!
I have furnished a expect code below , I need the below code to be written using a procedure.
for instance: create/delete role statements are repeating in more than place, so we can coin it under a single procedure, likewise.

since I am naive user of expect, I am facing difficulties using regular expressions to be used along with expect statement too, so only my expect statements look pretty lengthy, plz do help me in that also and in writing procedure.

please do help me in making the below code procedurised and code length reduced!

Thanks a lot ppl,
Partha

set timeout 10
spawn ssh -l abtest 198.16.23.56
