If i callup it as a $arg(ument) then the bot remove (don't see) the (like -aname will be -aname) and the bot don't see them
if i do \-aname then he see the user but
if i send the $arg trou a pther proc then the name is -aname agian. How can i solve this problem or is there a patch for this

Oke here a example :
I try to ban a user -ybr|d (Sorry Hybrid i used your name

but this is what happens:

<Vosje> Here i go:
<Vosje> bw chanban #test -ybr|d
<BW> -ybr|d «« Name i give???
<BW> -ybr|d must be de nick i give? and sent trou (below). This is the ban host *!*@*
<BW> Testmask *!*@* lengt of mask 5 the nickname that returns in this block -ybr|d
<BW> - FN Oper Script - I have banned -ybr|d from Channel #test.

<Vosje> Here i go part 2:
<Vosje> bw chanban #test \-\ybr|d
<BW> -ybr|d «« Name i give???
<BW> -ybr|d must be de nick i give? and sent trou (below). This is the ban host *!*@*
<BW> Testmask *!*testuser@96.122.0.* lengt of mask 5 the nickname that returns in this block -ybr|d
<BW> - FN Oper Script - I have banned -ybr|d from Channel #test.

<Vosje> Here i go part 3:
<Vosje> bw chanban #test \\-\\ybr|d
<BW> \-\ybr|d «« Name i give???
<BW> \-\ybr|d must be de nick i give? and sent trou (below). This is the ban host *!*@*
<BW> Testmask *!*@* lengt of mask 5 the nickname that returns in this block -ybr|d
<BW> - FN Oper Script - I have banned -ybr|d from Channel #test.
<Vosje> *** -ybr|d was kicked by BWorld (Your Bannen by Server on this channel.)

Can you paste a link to your script, so we can see what is wrong within it.

The basic problem is the way you handle incoming strings.

In proc call_fncommands, you are treating the text string $arg as a list.

You should convert the string to a list before accessing it with list commands.

So change commands like

set arg1 [lindex $arg 1]

to

set arg1 [lindex [split $arg] 1]

It is also potentialy dangerous not to do this when sending the user input through the timer commands.

Before sending these strings to other commands, use the list command to make them safe. This will also preserve the -ryd based formatting you require.

You should read over http://www.suninet.nl/tclguide/tclguide.html for some good information on how to deal with text like this.

ppslim:
Thanks a lot, I have used the [split] and the

option to save the $arg(uments) and it works now... :

<Vosje> !testnicksend -ybr|d send
<BW> -ybr|d -- -ybr|d
<BW> after sending: -ybr|d -- -ybr|d

Many thx to you for your fast help.
