Check for first char of sentence

[Buffy_25]

Hello,

What i would like to do is:
When a person types a msg in the room, i would like that my bot detects when the first char of the first word of the sentence is a "["

For example

[What] do you prefer?

Then my Bot replies:

The '[' has been found!

I have the following code, but it doesn't work

Code: Select all

bind pub - * tclcode
proc tclcode {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
set firstword [lindex [split $arg] 0]
if {[string index $firstword 0]=="["} {puthelp "PRIVMSG #channel : The [ has been found! "}
}

Thank you for your help.

Code: Select all

bind pubm - * tclcode
proc tclcode {nick uhost hand chan arg} {
	if {[string index $arg 0]=="\["} {
		puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :The \[ has been found!"
	}
}

Hi avilon.

This is working perfect if i use no colours.
If the [What] is in colour, it's not being recognized

Is this normal?
Can colours influence this?

Yes.
To remove control chars from a string you can use [stripcodes].

Code: Select all

[string index [stripcodes bcruag $arg] 0]
