Hi, I need help with the following issue where in interactive menu selection works fine manually but fails with perl ssh expect. When executing manually i get the following: 
Please enter the operation serial number.  >1

NO.                                                NE name            
+                                NE type name                         
+              
1                                                  TB2SEE             
+                                HW_SEE                               
+

+                                HW_SEE                               
+

+                                HW_SLEE                              
+

***************Input Tips*************
a: To create a tracing task for an NE, enter the NE number.
b: To create a tracing task for multiple NEs, enter the NE numbers and
+ separate every two of them with a plus sign (+). Example: 1+2.
c: To create a tracing task for all NEs, enter 0.
