I wanted to set variables with a command to be executed on server.

is it possible something like below?
set def_router_cmd 'def_router=`route -n | grep ^0.0.0.0|awk '{print $2}'`'
set ping_cmd="ping -c 3 $def_router"

send $def_router_cmd\r
send $ping_cmd\r

tcl is interpreting $ which is meant for remote bash and throwing errors, need help on this...

Or I need to get the output process it locally?
