Why my Eggdrop is only listen on Guest and not on Guest53324 ?

I use this Code in my TCL File

if {[regexp -nocase $nick "Guest*"]}

Thanks for Help

it works eh?

if {[regexp -nocase $nick "Guest*"]}

-nocase so no case ;P

Code: Select all

if {[regexp -nocase $nick "guest*"]}

You may find reading the Tcl man pages will help you with this.

You are sendign the arguments in the wrong order.

I also sugest using "string match" and not regexp for such a simple match.

Also, regexp doesn't use * the same way as you think. You're asking it to match guestttttttt, not guest12345. If you want any nick that starts with guest, use guest.* (note the period)

Oh, also, you have to start it with ^ if you don't want it to match 'guest' anywhere in the nick.

^guest.*
