Variable file in Expect script
I'm using this expect script as an answerfile to a interactive shell script:
#!/usr/bin/expect
spawn ./interactivescriptname
expect "Question 1?"
send "somethingr"
expect "Question 2?"
send "yesr"
expect "Password?"
send "somepasswordr"
interact
above works, but i want to use variables from a inputfile.
my variables files look like this:
var1="something"
var2="yes"
var3="somepassword"
Normally in bash i would use the source command, but this doesn't work in expect.
Any ideas?

One method would be to set TCL variables in a file (here, vars) and then source that file from the main script.
$ cat vars
set var1 something
set var2 yes
set var3 Hunter2
$ cat script
#!/usr/bin/env expect
source vars
puts $var3
$ chmod +x script
$ ./script
Hunter2
$
It may be good to use more informative variable names than varN ...
