Use expect.rb which should be ruby's lib directory for adding
`expecting' ability to IO, then use IO.popen or open3.rb to
communicate your application.

If your application doesn't work well without TTY, use pty module
which is also bundled with standard distribution instead of pipes.

Probably expect_sample.rb and README.expect under $(srcdir)/ext/pty is
useful for you.

# They may not work on Windows, though.
