binding commands without a ! or @

Hi, I am writing a help script for my eggdrop. I want a user to be able to ask for help and the eggdrop respond with some information about itself. I have done this easily using a binding for '!help'. Now I would like to add a binding for just 'help', without any characters in front of it. If I just add the lines:

set help(pub2) "help"
bind pub "$help(flag)" "$help(pub2)" help:pub

to the script, the bot will respond to the user typing 'help', but will also respond to the user typing 'help those who help themselves' or any other sentence starting with 'help' for that matter. Is there any way to limit the binding to only respond to 'help' and not to 'help*'?

Just let the bot give the info line when $arg doesn't exist.

ex :

Code: Select all

 if {$arg == ""} {
    putserv "NOTICE $nick  : your info line
    return 0
   }

In my case I actually wanted to send the info line if $arg == "" since I don't want 'help*' to trigger it. Using that it works great.

Thanks!
