That makes a lot of sense actually, expect is getting confused.

I don't have access to any brocade devices at all or your device output,
so it's hard to help further with specifics. I'm assuming flogin manages
the login portion OK, and runs the command properly.

Have you checked for end-of-page markers (eg <--more-->)?

You should also be able to run flogin with -c <command> to check that it
gives back the correct output. Compare with what you get logging in
manually and typing commands directly.
