Here is some relevant documentation:

        Upon matching a pattern (or eof or  full_buffer),  any
        matching  and  previously unmatched output is saved in
        the variable expect_out(buffer) [as in $expect_out(buffer)].  
        Up to 9 regexp  sub-
        string    matches   are   saved   in   the   variables
        expect_out(1,string) through expect_out(9,string).  If
        the -indices flag is used before a pattern, the start-
        ing and ending indices (in a form suitable for lrange)
        of   the  10  strings  are  stored  in  the  variables
        expect_out(X,start) and expect_out(X,end) where X is a
        digit,  corresponds  to  the substring position in the
        buffer.  0 refers to strings which matched the  entire
	pattern...
