Using rsync in expect script with find -ctime give me an error?

Question

I need some help with an expect script and rsync. When I run rsync in command line like this it works fine:

rsync -avz root@10.33.122.22:'$(find /cluster/storage/nobackup/coremw/var/log/saflog/FaultManagementLog/alarm/ -ctime -1)' /home/imstest/shared/Generate/ReportingT3/tmp/

But when I use my expect script that looks like this I get an error:

#!/usr/bin/expect -f
set host_ip [lindex $argv 0 ]
set user [lindex $argv 1 ]
set password [lindex $argv 2]
set scp_remote_directory [lindex $argv 3 ]
#set scp_remote_filename [lindex $argv 4] 
set local_directory [lindex $argv 4]

set force_conservative 1  ;# set to 1 to force conservative mode even if
                          ;# script wasn't run conservatively originally
if {$force_conservative} {
        set send_slow {1 .1}
        proc send {ignore arg} {
                sleep .1
                exp_send -s -- $arg
        }
}

set timeout -1
#spawn scp $user@$host_ip:$scp_remote_directory/$scp_remote_filename $local_directory/
spawn rsync -azv $user@$host_ip:\'\$(find $scp_remote_directory -ctime -1)\' $local_directory/
#spawn scp $user@$host_ip:$scp_remote_directory/CscfHealthCheckReport_$TagID_$phase* $local_directory/
match_max 100000
expect {
  -exact "Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? " {
    send -- "yes\r"
    exp_continue
  }
  -exact "${user}@${host_ip}'s password: " {
    send -- "$password\r"
  }
  -exact "Password: " {
    send -- "$password\r"
  }
}
expect eof

The script name is td_general_scp.exp and i run it like this:

./td_general_scp.exp 10.33.122.22 root rootroot /cluster/storage/no-backup/coremw/var/log/saflog/FaultManagementLog/alarm/Fm*.log /home/imstest/shared/Generate/ReportingT3/tmp

But then i get this error:

spawn rsync -azv root@10.33.122.22:'$(find /cluster/storage/no-backup/coremw/var/log/saflog/FaultManagementLog/alarm/Fm*.log -ctime -1)' /home/imstest/shared/Generate/ReportingT3/tmp/
Unexpected local arg: /cluster/storage/no-backup/coremw/var/log/saflog/FaultManagementLog/alarm/Fm*.log
If arg is a remote file/dir, prefix it with a colon (:).
rsync error: syntax or usage error (code 1) at main.c(1362) [Receiver=3.1.0]
expect: spawn id exp6 not open
    while executing
"expect eof"
    (file "./td_general_scp.exp" line 36)

But the spawn printout looks exactly the same as when i run it in command line? What am i doing wrong?

Thanks for the help!

I addded the comments from @Shubhangi Pardeshi but now i get this error:

spawn rsync -azv root@10.33.122.22:'$(find /cluster/storage/no-backup/coremw/var/log/saflog/FaultManagementLog/alarm/Fm*.log -ctime -1 )' /home/imstest/shared/Generate/ReportingT3/tmp/

The scripts looks like this now:

        set send_slow {1 .1}
        proc send {ignore arg} {
                sleep .1
                exp_send -s -- $arg
        }
}

    send -- "$password\r"
  }
  -exact "Password: " {
    send -- "$password\r"
  }
}

Here is the printout i gert when using exp_internal 1 after channging to @Shubhangi Pardeshi suggestion.

I missed to chang to ` as the suggestion but now i have the exact row as suggested:

spawn rsync -azv $user@$host_ip:\`\$(find\ $scp_remote_directory\ -ctime\ -1\ )\` $local_directory/

But now I get a permission denied output? I logged in as root it can't be a permission problem. The error output looks like this.

spawn rsync -zv root@10.33.122.22:`$(find /cluster/storage/no-backup/coremw/var/log/saflog/FaultManagementLog/alarm/Fm*.log -ctime -1 )` /home/imstest/shared/Generate/ReportingT3/tmp/

Answer 1

Below two changes in rsync command in expect script will resolve issue

1. Escape space in find command- $(find $scp_remote_directory -ctime -1)
2. replace ' by `

Hence, spawn statement in expect script would look like

spawn rsync -azv $user@$host_ip:\`\$(find\ $scp_remote_directory\ -ctime\ -1\ )\` $local_directory/
