nick with \ in it

it seems that tcl is stripping off "" (backslashes) in nicks - how do i quote such so it'll be included in nick

set nick {blahblah}

or

set nick "blah\blah"

right -

but when calling $nick -- it still doesnt take backslashes -- btw, its coming from a list

set nick [lindex ${nicks} 0]
** $nicks variable has nicks that might have backslash in it

and $nick still doesnt have the backslash when called.

because $nicks is a string, and you're using a list command (lindex) on it
