why the snmptranslate (also snmpget, snmpgetnext) won't take the varial argument?

 
Hi,   (PLS instruct me to become a member) 
 
I downloaded and installed the net-snmp-5.4.0.pre4-1.win32.exe on WinXP.
I tried to call snmptranslate from TCL and
use EXpect (5.21 for Window) to get the output as follow:
 
========================================================
    set outfile [open "translate.out" w+]
    spawn snmptranslate -m ALL -Tp -OS
.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysLocation.0
     while (1) {
         expect {
                 eof {
                      break;
                     }
                 "*+*R--" {
                       puts $outfile "R: $expect_out(buffer)"
                      }
                 "*+*RW-" {
                       puts $outfile "RW: $expect_out(buffer)"
                     }
                }
     }
}
   close $outfile
=======================================================
 
every thing looks fine! I got the tree view of the OID
 
But... when I turn it into procedure as:
 
=================================================
proc expect_translateCmd {oid} {
 set outfile [open "translate-1.out" w+]
spawn snmptranslate -m ALL -Tp -OS $oid     
     while (1) {
         expect {
                 eof {
                      break;
                     }
                 "*+*R--" {
                       puts $outfile "R: $expect_out(buffer)"
                      }
                 "*+*RW-" {
                       puts $outfile "RW: $expect_out(buffer)"
                     }
                }
     }
}
close $outfile
 
(Caller)
..... 
set oid " .iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr.0"
expect_translateCmd $oid
....
============================================
 
I never get the tree view and always get the message:
 
 "
 No log handling enabled - turning on stderr logging

.iso.org.dod.internet.mgmt.mib-2.system.sysDescr.0 :  (0 ) 
"
 
 The only difference is instead of specifying the actual oid, $oid is
use in spawn of the procedure.
 
Thanks for the reply!!
