[SOLVED] Need help with string matching from getchanhost

Hello everyone.

I would like to understand how to get only a part of the getchanhost pattern to be matched against a variable.

With getchanhost I get ident@hostmask. I need to filter out ONLY the hostmask. And ideas what I am looking for to help me accomplish this?

Cheers.

Nevermind, I found the easiest solution. Guess its not good to script at 9am without coffee.

The solution I used is to put the hostmask in the bind propery for join.

Cheers.

or you could split the host and get ident and host/ip and then you can use a string match against the host and what your trying to match.

[split ident@host.name @] would get you ident host.name
[string match -nocase *!*@host.name *!*@other.host.name] would get you 1 or 0 if it matched or not

this could be useful if your trying to match multiple hosts and you won`t need to make more then 1 bind join
