set kicknick $nick (where $nick is {Rex})

Hi,

If there is a user in a channel with the nickname {Rex}, is there anyway to store the nickname as a variable, without loosing the { and }?

Heres my situation...

{Rex} is being abusive, and a voice in a channel uses !kick {Rex} via our bot. I use:

proc public_kick {nick uhost handle channel arg} {

where [lindex $arg 0] will be {Rex}

but if i store [lindex $arg 0] as $kicknick, it only holds Rex and not {Rex}. I can get away with using [lindex $arg 0] throughout the proc but if i pass it as a parameter to another proc, the same problem arises.

See the thread regarding lists in the FAQ forum.

All data being sent to a proc in eggdrop, is sent as a string.

COmmands like lindex operate by taking a list as input.

As such, you need to convert the string, into a list, before it can be used properly.

Somthing like [lindex [split $arg] 0]

you will have to split $arg first. as written in the faq-forum ^^

err..sorry, can be deleted.
