Brackets and timer problem

[scr0llwheel]

I have a short script that checks the access of a user after they join the channel. When the user joins the channel, a timer is created:

Code: Select all

utimer 3 "checkaccessafterjoin $nick $host $chan"

Now, the error I'm getting is if someone joins with a nickname that has brackets in it (something like [NGL]Fate), it'll treat what is inside the brackets as a command. I get the following error:

Code: Select all

Tcl error in script for 'timer173':
invalid command name "NGL"

Other than it being annoying, I'm also worried about security. Like what if someone joins with a nickname that has "[die]" in it.

How can I have eggdrop ignore the brackets in the user's nickname?

Thanks

You should use

• to pass the arguments to timer/utimer.
  

  Code: Select all

  utimer 3 [list checkaccessafterjoin $nick $host $chan]
