how to make ignore case sensitive nicks

Nexus6 · Post by **Nexus6** » Fri Sep 27, 2002 12:22 pm

Hello, some spam bots use specific nicks, and these nicks contain strings, the bots which I want to keep out use only nicks without special chars, and without caps, example of such nick: mxjklz and if I make bot check nicks on join and check if they nick don't contain specific spam bot strings: {[string match "*mx*" $nick]} {....proc here, mxjklz gets banned but for example Nickmx would get banned too, and it's case sensitive nick so it ain't one of the bots I want to be banned.
I want bot do nothing if a nick contains caps/special chars/numbers.

I'd be grateful if someone enlighted me

Thanks in advance,

1) Check if it is a mixture of lower and upper case chars:

if {$nick == [string tolower $nick]} {... $nick is all lowercase}

2) String match will not match blah against BlAh unless you used -nocase switch.

3) Provide more info on what will be your merits to determine unallowed nick.

I've tryed [string tolower $nick] but I didn't get the proper results. I'll try your sugestion to, if this is the one.
