Re: Problem with if/else

Hi Dan,

couple of things.

handle eof in expect

if { "$stringA" == "$stringB" }

you wrote "=" but need towrite "=="

And imho the better way would be to use [switch]
instead of endless if else if ...

switch -exact -- $value \
$couldbe1 {
# action for first possible value
........
} $couldbe2 {
# action for other value
............
} default {
# default action
..............
}

is "hard(config:noe" really on the same line?
