in reply to Expect problems

Are you sure there is a trailing space in '>> Real server 144 - ' and that there are no extra characters (perhaps a cr character?)?

    Ok so like I stated in my last post I have it working but for some reason I get it to get beyond the apply stage due to the fact that the next prompt looks the same. Below is a copy of the session when I do this manually:

    >> Main- /cfg/slb/real 144/ena
    Current status: disabled
    New status: enabled

    >> Real server 144 - apply
    ------------------------------------------------------------------
    Apply complete; don't forget to "save" updated
    configuration.

    >> Real server 144 - save
    Request will first copy the FLASH "active" config to "backup",
    then overlay FLASH "active" with new config.
    Confirm saving to FLASH y/n: y
    New config successfully saved to FLASH.

    >> Real server 144 - exit


    So as you can see after the apply at the >> Real server 144 - prompt next I should/want to send "save" but expect get's stuck on the "apply" and wont move on to the next case match so it's almost like the thing goes into a never ending loop. Does anyone know of a way to force it to move on??
