Bug 376319 – dev-tcltk/expect - English mistake in manpage for autoexpect command

• Status: RESOLVED UPSTREAM
• Product: Documentation

[Description Ashish 2011-07-25 09:16:40 UTC]

I have come across that there is very small mistake in manpage for autoexpect command

"The -p flag puts autoexpect into "prompt mode". In this mode, autoexpect will only look for the the last line of program output - which is usually the prompt. This handles the date problem (see above) and most others.

The following example starts autoexpect in prompt mode.

    autoexpect -p"


Here "the the" has been used 2 times. I checked this on linux also and it is same.I know it very small problem.Could someone please fix this issue
