string map question

[droolin]

When looking through these threads, I seen where a suggestion was made to use string map instead of regsub, which seemed to fit a situation that I am trying to code for. But, for some reason I am having problems with this.

I am trying to use a variable for the replacement value, and the variable name is what is actually being replaced.

"

Code: Select all

:\0038,12 Welcome To ~~~~~~~~,  Our current DJ is ^^^^^^^^ \xab\xa7\xbb:\0038,1 The AweRockRadio  Team \xab\xa7\xbb"

 set lcl_new_msg1 [string map -nocase {~~~~~~~~ $chan ^^^^^^^^ $gbl_DJ_Current_Nick} $gbl_ary_text(OnJoinMsg1)]

And this is what appears.

-

ozzy- Welcome To $chan, Our current DJ is $gbl_DJ_Current_Nick «§»: The AweRockRadio Team «§»

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong here?

Any and all help appreciated.

string map wont recognize variables within its map like that. I don't really see why you'd need it tho, when you can just do


set lcl_new_msg1 ":\0038,12 Welcome To $chan, Our current DJ is $gbl_DJ_Current_Nick \xab\xa7\xbb:\0038,1 The AweRockRadio Team \xab\xa7\xbb "

or whatever..That assumes $chan and $gbl_DJ_Current_Nick were previously defined of course.

The braces prevent variable substitution. Use list to create your map...

Code: Select all

string map [list ~~~ $x ^^^ $y ... $z] $msg
