I am making auto-pass with expect in bash.The code is;

ssh-copy-id -i $SSH_KEY_PATH_PUB $REMOTE_HOST_USER@$REMOTE_HOST_IP (here asks pass)

VAR=$(expect -c" 
     expect "*?assword:*"
     send "$REMOTE_HOST_PASSWD\r";
     send -- "\r"
     expect eof
     ")

echo "$VAR"

It still asks password.what is the problem

SOLVED: ssh-copy-id -i $SSH_KEY_PATH_PUB $REMOTE_HOST_USER@$REMOTE_HOST_IP must be in expect block as;

spawn ssh-copy-id -i $SSH_KEY_PATH_PUB $REMOTE_HOST_USER@$REMOTE_HOST_IP

and the line 

 send "$REMOTE_HOST_PASSWD\r";

must be

send \"$REMOTE_HOST_PASSWD\r\";

VAR=$(expect -c "expect '' \
  {eval spawn \
  ssh-copy-id -i $SSH_KEY_PATH_PUB $REMOTE_HOST_USER@$REMOTE_HOST_IP; \
  interact -o -nobuffer -re .*assword.* return; \
  send "$REMOTE_HOST_PASSWD\r"; send -- "\r"; \
  expect eof;} ")

echo "$VAR"
