Hi,

Im trying to use {[]} characters in a nickname. But because those codes are TCL Operators eggdrop things its a command.

Please help me out,

Thanks

there is no problem about such nicks. Only when the content of $nick gets evalated you have to worry about it. In most times split and list are your friends. In care cases like in a calculator you can string map them with escapes.

Give us some code, if you are unsure how to properly escape them without escaping them too much.

Basically its this.

set nick "{[MyNick]}"

(Set in the eggdrops config file).

Thanks

use instead

Code: Select all

set nick {{[MyNick]}}

strings within "" are substituted but within {} only blackslashing of { and } is neccessary (even line breaks will be included).

Alternately, if you must keep substitution, you can escape [] with \[\].
