ignore problem with braces "{"

Post by _andy »

i am simply trying to ignore braces "{" as the first character in a nick.
i do this by typing .+ig {*!*@*

HOWEVER...

it's also ignoring the bracket "[" too as seen below.
why is this the case and how do i fix this so it only ignores the braces.
i am running eggdrop v1.6.6 Tcl version: 8.3

[11:48] <[andy]> .ignore *[*
[11:48] <HmongChat> [09:44] #Andy# ignores *[*
[11:48] <HmongChat> Currently ignoring:
[11:48] <HmongChat> [ 2] {*!*@* (perm)
[11:48] <HmongChat> Andy: braces messes up the stats

Try upgrading to 1.6.13 for different results :)

This is the correct behavior since { and [ are the same character on most irc networks.

Thus {guppy and [guppy are the same nicknames.
