Expect[1] (a Tcl-based tool) is still quite useful despite its age, and Don Libes' book[2] is a devops classic (if there is such a thing). The examples directory[3] from expect's source code repository should help you get the flavor of good Tcl programming.

`brew install expect`

`apt-get install expect`

Readily available on many other platforms as well, including Windows.

GCC testsuite is still written in DejaGnu, which is written in Expect.

It works for what it does.
