strip slashes

Post by CrazyCat »

hi there...
Does anyone know how to strip the slashes in a variable?
I take lines from a website, and I send them on a chan, but when they contains quote or other special characters, I get this:
<M0rgane> I\'m so happy

and I want :
<M0rgane> I'm so happy

Thanx helping me

first thing popping to my mind would be to use regsub

Code: Select all

regsub -all "\\" $var "" var
Elen sila lúmenn' omentielvo

It sounds more like youare handling the input of the caracters wrong in the first place.

As such, there amy be more to it, than just the slash than you can see.
