Got problem with user nicknames using [] brackets

Post by Caribou »

Hello, im beginner to TCL scripting and im currently coding my own script, translation from mirc script.

Im almost done but i found out i got problems with people using [] brackets in their nickname, like [leet] .. it is just totally messing my script :(

and yes i tried to search before posting, i only found some help for [expr] double evaluate.. i tried to use {} like {$nick} to prevent double evaluation but it didn't worked, i tried some commands on my bot with [die] as nickname, eggdrop disconnecting with some of them (commands) lol :lol:

yeah i found thats funny, easy way to mess a bot :lol:

but i wanna protect my script from this, how can i stop my script from evaluating a $nick as a command ? i don't wanna trim those [] by the way, i guess there is another way..

Thanks for any help, sorry for my weird english :mrgreen:

Either use regsub to escape the ['s and ]'s, or try and make your script use strings/lists in a good way.
dollar (or something similar) at:

#eggdrop.support / #tcl - quakenet
#eggdrop - ircnet

Have a look at this page.

Thanks for helping me guys, i corrected everything in my script, and tested out, now i guess there is no way to abuse and mess everything with name like " [nickname] " , and other special character aren't allowed on servers (i think lol) :)

I used your link caesar for correcting Utimers

and i used regsub for correcting my Regexp dollar

so thanks both of you ;)
