How to remove certain characters in a string

Let's say i have this string(1word) (~xxmcx@egghelp.org)

How would I go about removing the ( & ) & @, then putting the ident and hostmask into 2 different variables?

You can use 'split':

Code: Select all

set host "[split ~xxmcx@egghelp.org @]"
set userident "[lindex $host 0]"
set userhost "[lindex $host 1]"

Use "trim" if you want to get rid of the ~ thing
