Variable within an expect file

I have开发者_如何学JAVA an expect file that looks like this. I invoke the script using

expect myfile.exp

I want to be able to send a value of 1,2,3 or 4. Is there a notion of variable within the expect file?

expect -exact "> "
sleep .1
send -s -- "1\r"
expect -exact "> "
sleep .1
# This prompt can take values 1, 2, 3 or 4
send -s -- "1\r"
# I want to replace "1\r" above with one of the 4 possible values at runtime
expect -exact "> "
sleep .1
send -s -- "1\r"

Do you want this to be interactive? So that the script requests input from the user or does it need to be dependant on some value it receives?

Solution is to use command line arguments

expect -f myfile.exp 2 3 1

Here 2 is the argument being passed. The arguments are processed as follows in the exp file

set var1 [lrange $argv 0 0]
set var2 [lrange $argv 1 1]
set var3 [lrange $argv 2 2]
expect -exact "> "
sleep .1
send -s -- "1\r"
expect -exact "> "
sleep .1
# This prompt can take values 1, 2, 3 or 4
# Original code 
# send -s -- "1\r"

# Modified code
send -s -- "${var3}\r"

expect -exact "> "
sleep .1
send -s -- "1\r"
