    In my below script i want to get the output from the spawn to be
    ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset user--password-valid-to="2025-09-15 10:30:00Z"
    but it ignores the quotes and gives me
    ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset user--password-valid-to=2025-09-15 10:30:00Z
    Ive tried several different ways, escaping the quotes etc but no joy. Code below


    #!/usr/bin/expect

set password [lindex $argv 0]
set username [lindex $argv 1]
set valid_to "2025-09-15 10:30:00Z"
set timeout -1


spawn ovirt-aaa-jdbc-tool user password-reset $username --password-valid-to=$valid_to
expect -re {(?n)^Password.*}
send "$password\n"
expect -re {(?n)^Reenter password.*}
send "$password\n"
expect -re {(?n)^user updated successfully.*}
send "history > his && echo hi\n"
expect -re {(?n)^#*}
send "whoami\n"
expect -re {(?n)^#*}
expect eof
