I wrote the following expect script:
#!/usr/bin/expect -fset timeout 10spawn zypper in --no-recommends pdnsexpect { -re {^.* Solution (\d): (?:break pdns)} { set solution "$expect_out(1,string)" exp_continue }"Choose from above solutions by number or cancel" { puts "$solution" send "\r" }}The program puts my $solution correctly (in the example below, "3" is correctly placed), however then aborts execution, seemingly sending the carriage return, but not in a way that would make the zypper command I am spawning continue:

I attempted to add
eof { exp_continue }"Installing:" { exp_continue }eof {}to the expect block, and additionally tried to expect eof outside of the existing expect block. Neither seem to make the zypper command continue.
To clarify: on a manual execution, zypper expects "3" and then "enter" and then proceeds to install the package (hence the attempt with expecting "Installing:" afterwards).
I would appreciate any suggestions on what else to try!
Thanks for reading!
