I've also tried doing it this way, but I get a similar issue.

    unless ($exp->expect(3,"Do you want to unpack these archive files 
+for processing? [Y/N]:")) {};
    print $exp "$response1\r";
[download]

Output is similar, I've tried escaping the ? and brackets as well.

spawn id(3): list of patterns:
  #1: -ex `Do you want to unpack these archive files for processing? [
+Y/N]:'


spawn id(3): Does `'
match:
  pattern #1: -ex `Do you want to unpack these archive files for proce
+ssing? [Y/N]:'? No.

Waiting for new data (3 seconds)...
TIMEOUT
Returning from expect with TIMEOUT or EOF
Closing spawn id(3).

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.


Problems? Is your data what you think it is?
