Hi cryptonite1,

I haven't used Expect much, but the documentation says

If called in an array context expect() will return ($matched_pattern_position, $error, $successfully_matching_string, $before_match, and $after_match).

So that would mean something like

my ($match_pos, $error, $match_string, $before_match, $after_match) = 
+$exp->expect( $timeout, ... );

(Untested) Update: Fixed a copy/paste mistake, and I tried it out and in your case you'll probably be interested in the string $after_match, since that will contain the rest of the line after the regex "Backup file location:". It'll still have whitespace and newlines on the ends of the string, so you'll have to do something like $after_match =~ s/^\s+|\s+$//g; to get rid of it.

Hope this helps,
