Define a variable; the send it. eg:<br>
<br>
set FILE_RECORD "\033\[17~"<br>
<br>
send $FILE_RECORD<br>
<br>
This real life example from a expect script that controls a Mumps database and is the string for filing a record after creation of modification. The string is an ESCAPE character ( \033 ) in octal; followed by the characters sent by the F6 (?) key on a vt100 keyboard. But it could ( and I have ) be defined as just the ESCAPE character.<br>
