brackets [ ] in the config

Hi!

I wanted my eggdrop to join a channel on IRC which has brackets in its name.
When I started the eggdrop with these brackets in the config, I've got an error message and the eggdrop didn't started.

Tcl error in file 'eggbsp'':
invalid command name "xxx"
while executing
"xxx"
invoked from within
"channel add #[xxx]clan{"
(file "eggbsp" line 371)
* CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

Google said:

"11. Square brackets [] do not work in the config (new)"

But isn't there any possibility to use them though? I've already tried to comment them out like in perl, but it didn't work as well.

Any ideas?

Use something like: \[bla]

No matter if I use \[xxx] or \[xxx\], I always get:

Tcl error in file 'eggbsp':
invalid command name "chanmode"
while executing
"chanmode """
(file "eggbsp" line 372)
* CONFIG FILE NOT LOADED (NOT FOUND, OR ERROR)

Now is not a problem with the nick, is a problem with the way you've added a static channel in the .conf file. Example: of a static channel in the .conf file:

channel add #mychan {
chanmode "+nt"
idle-kick 0
stopnethack-mode 0
revenge-mode 0
ban-time 120
exempt-time 60
invite-time 60
aop-delay 6:30
flood-chan 10:60
flood-deop 3:10
flood-kick 3:10
flood-join 5:60
flood-ctcp 3:60
flood-nick 5:60
}

You should read the coments from it.

ok, I'll take a closer look at that, but fact is, that my eggdrop joins 5 channels, and I've got only problems with this one with the brackets.

The channelsettings are for each one the same:

channel add #xxx{
chanmode ""
idle-kick 0
}
channel set #xxx +dontkickops +autovoice +protectfriends +protectops

global chanmode is "nt"
If I remove this channel with the brackets the eggdrop works fine.
And btw, thanks for you help and effort.

hmm adding the channel over dcc as dynamic channel works.
I think that's a solution I can live with

you may also want to place a space inbetween the channel name and bracket.

channel add #xxx{

here.. after the #xxx add a space.
