Debugging Expect
Cameron Laird
A "transition error" led to the delay of this article for more than a year. Although it was originally written early in 2004, its content remains equally accurate and pertinent today. This is typical for Expect — its author, Don Libes, expected it to be imitated and surpassed soon after he first released it at the beginning of the 1990s, but that's never happened. The book he published about it in 1994 remains in print, not because of the interest of antiquarians, but because Expect continues in 2005 to solve the important problems it addresses better than any other tool. Read on, then, and learn how you can make even better use of Expect with a few simple debugging techniques.
