you would include "\r" in the string you are sending. Just FYI, everything
works in pairs of
lookfor send
so, if you are trying to watch for your login prompt, then send your userid
you'd have something like:
ogin my_id
You can also have 'sub-pairs' of 'expect'/'send' like this for hitting
enter a few times:
ogin--ogin--ogin--ogin--ogin my_id
The chat program will look for ogin, not seeing it send what is after the
- , which in this case is nothing, so will send a CR, then watch for
ogin , etc until it gets to the end of the string. If it sees ogin
anywhere in that sequence, it will drop out and send my_id. If you
find you really need to send the \r, you should make the sequence
look like this:
ogin-"\r"-ogin-"\r"-ogin-"\r"-ogin my_id
