Replacing $nick with ???

tradergt · Post by **tradergt** » Tue Sep 10, 2002 10:30 am

I wrote a script to ban certain users and have one thing left I want it to do and not sure how to go about it..

I have the $nick and I create a type 2 ban. and ban the user in the bot. But I would like to add ??? for the nick.. For example... I would like to have Lamer@111.111.111.111 be ?????!*@111.111.111.111 in the bot.. How do I get the question marks the same number as the nick length???

Thanks,
Jeff

Variable $nick can be processed using regsub

regsub -all . $nick ? $maskednick

So, $nick=Lamer will become $maskednick=?????.

A quicker solution would be to use string repeat.

Code: Select all

set masked [string repeat ? [string length $nick]]

Note, the above regsub is formatted wrong, the last variable should not contain the $ at the begining.
