Hello,



I have an expect script which I copied from user "ktappe" and I want to integrate the $4-$11 variables so I don't have to change the script every time I need to change the password.



This example doesn't work. :-(



#!/usr/bin/expect -f



set newpassword $5

set oldpassword $6



spawn firmwarepasswd -setpasswd

expect {

    "Enter password:" {

        send "$oldpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

    "Enter new password:" {

        send "$newpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

    "Re-enter new password:" {

        send "$newpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

}


Thanks!

Try [lindex $argv 5] and [lindex $argv 6]



#!/usr/bin/expect -f



set new password [lindex $argv 5]

set oldpassword [lindex $argv 6]



spawn firmwarepasswd -setpasswd

expect {

    "Enter password:" {

        send "$oldpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

    "Enter new password:" {

        send "$newpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

    "Re-enter new password:" {

        send "$newpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

}

Hi,



Did that work in the end?

Sorry. Haven't had the time yet to test it until now.



Unfortunately it does not work. But i figured it out myself!



The number of the variable you are using needs to be minus 1. So if you are using variable 4 and 5, you have to use [lindex $argv 3] and [lindex $argv 4]



The Script for variable 4 and 5 looks like this and is working:



#!/usr/bin/expect -f



set newpassword [lindex $argv 3]

set oldpassword [lindex $argv 4]



spawn firmwarepasswd -setpasswd

expect {

    "Enter password:" {

        send "$oldpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

    "Enter new password:" {

        send "$newpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

    "Re-enter new password:" {

        send "$newpassword

"

        exp_continue

    }

}
