text decoration problem, when getting text from a mysql db

[diarmuid]

hi all,

i'm having a little issue getting text decoration to work, here's my situation.

i'm storing text in a mysql db, im retreiving that info from the db, and storing it in a variable called $row. that's all fine and dandy... here's the problem.

this is what $row looks like:
1 op_msg {\0037this is op_msg}

this is how $row is set:
set row [lindex [mysqlsel $sqlhand "SELECT * FROM `$db(table)` WHERE id LIKE '1'" -list] 0]

when i try and output by doing: putquick "NOTICE $nick: $row" it won't show the colour that \0037 should return (orange), instead it just outputs "\0037this is op_msg"

how can i make it treat the \0037 as a colour code in my output??

What you want is backslash substitution. Try 'subst' (-nocommands -novariables)
