$char problem

[spyda]

[12:52pm] <Asustek> [asus] Administrator Op (Kissmine)
[12:52pm] -Asustek- You have been Oped in #helpline
[12:52pm] <Kissmine> `op Moust\gone
[12:52pm] -Asustek- Moustgone is not in #helpline

I have been writing this script for about a week.. I have found my first problem.

Code: Select all

set asus_who [lindex $vasus 0]
if {[onchan $asus_who $chan] == "0"} {
  puthelp "NOTICE $nick :$asus_who is not in \002$chan\002"
  return 0
  }
  puthelp "PRIVMSG $asus(home) :$asus(logo) Oped \037(\037\002$nick!$uhost\002\037)\037 $chan \037\[\037\002Oped $asus_who\037\002]\037"
  puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Given ops to \002$asus_who\002 in \002$chan\002"
  puthelp "NOTICE $asus_who :You have been Oped in \002$chan\002 by \002$nick\002"
  pushmode $chan +o $asus_who
  return 0
 }
}

Now I looked into using strings (but I am still learning them) I came up with something like this.. But it dont work!

Code: Select all

set asus_who [lindex $vasus 0]
if {[string match [lrange $asus_who 1 end] "\"]} {[string replace "\" "$char(141)}
if {[onchan $asus_who $chan] == "0"} {
  puthelp "NOTICE $nick :$asus_who is not in \002$chan\002"
  return 0
  }
  puthelp "PRIVMSG $asus(home) :$asus(logo) Oped \037(\037\002$nick!$uhost\002\037)\037 $chan \037\[\037\002Oped $asus_who\037\002]\037"
  puthelp "NOTICE $nick :Given ops to \002$asus_who\002 in \002$chan\002"
  puthelp "NOTICE $asus_who :You have been Oped in \002$chan\002 by \002$nick\002"
  pushmode $chan +o $asus_who
  return 0
 }
}

Thanx in advance

Somewhere in the script, you're not handling strings/lists correctly, and this will cause problems with 'special' characters like the backslash. The problem is occuring at or before this point:

Code: Select all

set asus_who [lindex $vasus 0]

So we'd need to see the parts of the script that lead up to this.

It has helped out alot.. I am still learning strings, so that was half my problem!

I have made it work now.. But I did it the hard way (alot of coding and hours) I am looking at redoing it all with strings and making the 4 page script smaller. Thanx
