script command to ban a wildcard ident and its host

[BarGuy]

so Im using script to ban someone who is on a ramage for some reason... the script Im using was banning the nick, but I changed it to ban the host ---> putquick "MODE $chan +b $uhost" <--- however its also banning the ident as well.. (ie itsme@123.456.789) how can I change that ban type so its a ban like *@123.456.789

Visit :
https://docs.eggheads.org/mainDocs/tcl- ... t-masktype

and see if the command and info describing it found there is helpful to you.

Experiment with it some.

got it figured out...

added
set banmask [lindex [split $uhost "@"] 1]
and changed $umask to $banmask

It depends on what you need and/or are satisfied with. If you've got it to suit you, all well and good.
However, the code you've posted won't produce what you asked for.

... so its a ban like *@123.456.789 ...

It will produce just the part to the right of the @ .

If you want a banmask like :
*!*@something.something
then there are a couple ways to achieve it.

Play with this in some test channel of yours. It will make the difference real clear. Then decide what you want / need.

bind pub - "!foo" mask_host_experiment


proc mask_host_experiment {nick uhost handle chan text} {

        putserv "privmsg $chan : "

        putserv "privmsg $chan :nick is: $nick - - - uhost is: $uhost "

        putserv "privmsg $chan : "

        set banmask [lindex [split $uhost "@"] 1]
        putserv "privmsg $chan :banmask is: $banmask"

        putserv "privmsg $chan : "
  

        set another_banmask [maskhost $nick!$uhost 2]

        putserv "privmsg $chan :another_banmask is: $another_banmask "

}

I hope this helps.

Actually it did exactly what we were looking for (11:05:42] * BarBot sets mode: +b *!*@89.249.65.30)

But thanks for the additional help

Ok. I'm glad you're getting the ban you wanted then. Apparently the irc server does some interpreting of what is sent to it, and adds the leading *!*@ on it's own.
