Placing Expect command inside an existing Expect

[RF101]

Current script:

set tdate [clock format [clock seconds] -format %Y%m%d]
set newName ofcvar_
append newName $tdate
append newName ".txt"
send "expect -f ofcvar.txt > $newName\r"

This gives me a new file like ofcvar_20080919.txt

When I type in the commands above at the expect prompt it works exactly like I wanted it but when I type the commands into a new tcl file and execute it it fails to send the last command successfully.

set tdate [clock format [clock seconds] -format %Y%m%d]
set newName ofcvar_
append newName $tdate
append newName ".txt"
send "expect -f ofcvar.txt > $newName\r"


I get this at the prompt:

xpect -f ofcvar.txt > ofcvar_20080819.txt

I am not getting the syntax right on the send command. I have tried several variations without luck.

Please help,

RF

Resolved. I decided to place everything in one script instead of trying to call a second one within the first.

Thanks,
