How to Expect this with a generic proc to handle some commands that[...]

I tried this and it didn't work:
set $cmd "some command"
exp_send cmd\r
expect {
-re "Are you sure?\\r\\n> " { ## regexp didn't pick up this!!
exp_send Y\r ## is it OK to send here
exp_continue ## and back to the Expect loop?
}

timeout { # no good }
}
Try simplifying your regex:
expect {
-re {Are you sure? *$} {
exp_send "Y\r"
exp_continue
}
timeout { handle_timeout }
$prompt
}
Note the last expect pattern has no body. That can be used as a
shortcut to break out of the expect command.
