I know this has been discussed before someplace, but I can't find anything via search engines for tcl tutorial help. So, here is my question.
The eggdrop is receiving a string of information concerning the join of a nick to a network. For the various things I am trying to do, at times I access this string as a list so that I can strip out ip's(one example). Still in testing phase(thank you lord for teaching me to test), I encountered a nick in this string with the special characters { and }. This is the string:*** Notice -- Client connecting at NovaWeb.AwesomeChat.Net: {M}et{E}ha{N} (~foo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx). This blew my list operation right out of the watter where I was trying to acquire the ip, which unfortionally followed right after the special characters.
Any sugestions? I do not need the nick, the ip is what im after. Just so you know, what im trying to do is create a network wide proxy scanning eggie. The ip is being passed to a bopm proxy scanning bot. I don't need the nick, so I can change those characters. If you feel that is the solution.

from Stdragon's post in the "TCL faq forum":
try this set nick [lindex [split $nick] 0]

I knew I had seen that answer someplace, I just couldnt rember where. I have been reading alot of faq's and tutorials as I look for ways to do stuff. I do appoligise for asking something that was in the faq. Like I said, I just couldn't rember where I seen that. That will definatly work I think.
