How do I provide a response in Bash that is installing an application

In my bash script I am installing my application. I need to respond to three questions that need the following 3 responses as part of the application being installed.

1. The Application Question: "Continue [c, Enter], Exit [e]" Response wanted:

• c then Enter

2. The Application Question: "Do you want to continue?" Response wanted:

• y then Enter

3. The Application Question: "[Enter]" Response wanted:

• Enter

I have provided an example below of the first entry I am trying to make in my bash script.

Any help determining if I am using correct context or there is a better one.

My script calls all other actions except this one.

#!/bin/bash
.....

sleep3

send "c\r"

expect "Continue [c,Enter], Exit [e]"

here's a trivial example using expect to mimic you scenario - and a stub python 'application' that 'expects' 3 responses.

cat jdubs.sh 
#!/usr/bin/expect

set responses {"c" "y" ""}
spawn ./app.py
foreach resp $responses {
    expect -re ".*"
    send "$resp\r"
}
expect eof

cat app.py 
#! /usr/bin/env python
import sys
import datetime

r1=input('prompt1:')
r2=input('prompt2:')
r3=input('prompt3:')

print(f'\n\n{datetime.datetime.now()}: installed {sys.argv[0]}, with responses:{r1} :{r2} :{r3}')

#
# test
#
./jdubs.sh 
spawn ./app.py
c
y

prompt1:prompt2:prompt3:

2025-05-01 09:33:51.039400: installed ./app.py, with responses:c :y :
