Hello,

I program in TCL, now in some of my codes, I'm using hebrew (language) vars, my problem is, then when the var is a hebrew channel,
the program can't do if on it like doing:
if {($hebchanvar1 == $hebchanvar2)} { ... }
or
if {([info exists hebchanvar])}

the problem is kind of critical so I can't skip the check
anyone know what is the problem?

Thanks

What happens if you try if {![string compare $var1 $var2]} { }

Are you actually naming the variable with hebrew chars, or are the values hebrew instead?

The value's are hebrew chans
and I think that will work, because [string match does work
but I need it to work with info exists and to get the value, it's more in a list...

It doesn't matter what is stored in the variable, info exists will work if you are using it correctly. Make sure if it's a global variable that you used the "global" command before "info exists".

yeah, there is global, I forgot to mention it's a list,
I mean a($hebchanvar) and inside it there is another value...

The var of the list is in english, the lines of the list are in english and hebrew chans, and the contents are or in english or in hebrew
and if it is a hebrew chan, in info exists, or when I try to reach the value,
it say it's empty, anyone has answer please?

thanks

In my tests, "info exists" works perfectly no matter what the value of the variable is. So you must be doing something else wrong. Maybe you can paste some actual code, with the values you use, and show us.

if {(![info exists cbot([strlwr $target])])} { ....
if the $target is hebrew chan, it will show always true..., that no info exists in there, but the info is there...

So you're not using your own hebrew variable, you're using one passed from an eggdrop bind.

Most likely, the problem is that when you set the variable in your script, it's using the utf-8 encoding, but when eggdrop creates the variable for the bind, it's not. Try using the tcl "encoding" command to convert the hebrew value.

Maybe a better, easier approach, is to use setudef to store information about each channel. That way, instead of

if {![info exists cbot($chan)]} { ... }

you can say

if {![channel get $chan cbot]} { ... }

which should work better.

hmm what is the encoding command? never heard of it =\
and also setufed how do I use it
and the channel get will get the information from the list?

and
thank you very much

Code: Select all

setudef flag cbot

if {![channel get $chan cbot]} { ... }

I need to leave the flag word or change it?
and the setudef is suppose to come before the if or out of code?

Use that "if" inside the proc to see if that channel has the specified channel flag. Read in the tcl-commands.doc file the coments about the "setudef". By default is set to 0, as disabled.

Because I need to use the list... not other formats

Whatever you store in your list, you can also store with channel set and retrieve with channel get. Of course, you don't have to do this. Have you looked at the encoding command? Check docs at www.tcl.tk
