I am trying to harden my expect script, and so far I have the "usual prompts
covered" but what happens if for some reason the host that the expect script
is logging into changes its screens? How can I account for that?
Is there a way that if it does not receive any of the prompts listed below,
it puts $FILE error, then continues on with the script?

 expect {
                "200? \\*\\*\\*\r\n>$"
                     { change_pass }
                "200? \\*\\*\\**\r\n>$"
                     { change_pass }
                "Invalid user name or password.\r\nEnter User Name\r\n>$" {
                     puts $PASS_ERROR "$LINE, Invalid user name or passwd,
passwd was not changed."; continue
                }
                "User logged in on another device, please try again." {
                     puts $PASS_ERROR "$LINE, had user logged in, passwd was
not changed."; continue
                }
            }
