Linux Expect编程

Timeout

正确写法：
当Expect有多个选项时，应用{}括起来

# 设置超时时间为20秒
set timeout 20
expect {
	# 检测文件结尾
	eof {puts "检测到文件结尾"
	# 检测超时
	timeout {puts "等待超时}
}

错误写法：

expect 	eof {puts "检测到文件结尾"}
		timeout {puts "等待超时"}

[]的正确用法

正确写法：

expect "\[a-f]" {...}

or

expect  {[a-f]} {...}

错误写法：

expect "[a-f]" {...}

错误提示：invalid command name “a-f”

【错误处理】couldn’t compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid

shell测试脚本

# shell demo test.sh
#!/usr/bin/bash
read -p "pls input phone number" number
echo $number > log.txt

expect测试脚本

# expect demo test.exp
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn sh test.sh
expect -re "*phone*" {puts "match successfully"}

运行expect脚本

chmod a+x test.exp
./test.exp

报错
couldn’t compile regular expression pattern: quantifier operand invalid

代码修改

# expect demo test.exp
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn sh test.sh
expect -re "\*phone\*" {puts "match successfully"}

将特殊字符用反斜线处理，程序正常运行，不在报错。
