I have problems with a tcl script. When i try to add a channel with [ ] in it, it gives errors, is there something to solve it?

I thought there was a bug with most bots and heck most servers, that channels with [] in them wouldnt be allowed.

Certainly not allowed on Aniverse

Hi,

Yes u can add chans with [ ].

If the channel is called #[fred]

Then you need to make entries in the conf file and any tcl scripts like so;

#\[fred]

The \ makes the code ignore the [ as a command.

Flux.

edit; maybe you would have to put #\[fred\] I didnt really need my bots to join a channel with [ ] for any length of time, but #\[fred] will get it online, maybe #\[fred\] would stop errors being generated? A TCL guru will put me right on this....

#\[fred\] must do

No, you only need the first \.

Tcl will see no reason to parse the ] as part of a command, unless one has been opened.

It is a complicated subject, where brackets and quotes change the way you have to use the \.

For simple purposes though, allways use #\[fred\], as it will prevent you getting into trouble later.

#\[fred] will do fine.
