d. Script Syntax: SimpleExpect Keyword
The SimpleExpect Keyword lets you specify expected responses from a service. Responses
can even be binary (i.e. non-printable ASCII character) responses. If you know exactly (or even
approximately) what to expect you can construct a simple expect response string to match
against.
This keyword allows you some flexibility in accepting variable responses and picking out only
crucial information. If you need additional flexibility you may want to consider using the
regular expression syntax available in the Expect (on page 167) keyword.
The SimpleExpect script syntax is SimpleExpect=Response, where the response is a series
of characters you expect back from the service. The following table displays keywords that
match logic and wildcards to compare responses byte-by-byte expanding escape codes as
you go.
