Hello All  
Is there a ‘expect’ like Module for ruby? Something like this perl  
Module:

> **[Expect.pm - Expect for Perl - metacpan.org](https://metacpan.org/release/RGIERSIG/Expect-1.21/view/Expect.pod)**
>
> Expect for Perl

[http://search.cpan.org/~rgiersig/Expect-1.21/Expect.pod](http://search.cpan.org/%7Ergiersig/Expect-1.21/Expect.pod)

I tried searching for a gem but nothing seems to come up in google.  
Any direction will be appreciated.  
thx
