conf file: How to escape the slash in #john/doe?

Post by flyingbaobab »

My configfile looks like this:

...
channel add #john/doe {
chanmode "+nts 1"
idle-kick 1
}
channel set #john/doe ...

Problem

My eggdrop doesn't join the channel #john/doe
I've tried to escape it with a \ before the / so i get #john\/doe. This was suggested on a few sites after googling. But still doesn't work.

Anyone an idea how to solve this? Other escaping methods?(another channame is no solution since its in use for several years now).

Thx in advance

Code: Select all

channel add #john//doe { ...

problem solved

Code: Select all

channel add #john/doe { ...
... works just fine. So no need to escape the slash. While escaping the slash, eggdrop joined #john//doe instead of #john/doe

The problem was that my eggdrop needed to be identified by chanserv in order to join that channel. My mistake :)

And thanks for the help
