expect scripting error

[Ratzie]

I am trying to write an expect script that when it gets a certain prompt on
login it writes to a file to be mailed to me later....
I have the set variables at the beginning...

set LOG_FILE /home/c/logs/pass_set.log
set FILE [open /home/c/scripts/problem_list.txt "r"]
set ERROR_FILE /home/c/logs/connect_errors1.txt
set ERROR [ open $ERROR_FILE "w"]
set LOGIN_ERROR_FILE /home/c/logs/failed_logins1.txt
set PASS_ERROR_FILE /home/c/logs/passwd_change_error1.txt
set PASS_ERROR [ open $PASS_ERROR_FILE "w"]
set MAILTO someone@work.com
set SUBJECT_CONNECT "Failed Connections for acc account on [exec date]"
set SUBJECT_PASSWD "Failed Passwd Changes for acc account on [exec date]"

puts $ERROR "**** FAILED Connections ERROR LOG for [exec date] **** \n"
puts $PASS_ERROR "**** FAILED Passwd Changes ERROR LOG for [exec date] ****
\n"

I then start the script that source a file of IPs, and logs in, this is
where I need to get the error of
Invalid user name or password.

Here is chunks of the script...
####################################

proc acc_login {} {
send -- "acc1\r"
expect "Enter Password\r\n>$"
send -- "*************\r"
expect -exact "************\r"
expect "Invalid user name or password.\*$"
{
puts $PASS_ERROR "$LINE, Invalid user name or passwd, passwd was
not changed."; continue
}
}
#####################################################

This is the error when I run the script...

Enter User Name
>acc1
Enter Password
>************
Invalid user name or password.
Enter User Name
>invalid command name "
puts $PASS_ERROR "$LINE, Invalid user name or passwd, passwd was
not changed."; continue
"
while executing
"{
puts $PASS_ERROR "$LINE, Invalid user name or passwd, passwd was
not changed."; continue
}"
(procedure "acc_login" line 7)
invoked from within
"acc_login "

Could you attach these sections of code from the source instead of pasting them in?

The line-wrapping etc. makes it 'difficult' to be sure what the original says.

Hi,

I dont know this language but I wonder, if continue shouldnt be exp_continue?

greetings,

On think I usually do with expect is use "autoexpect" it writes the script for you basically.

man autoexpect for more details

as for variables and such.... I've never used them in an expect script...
