if $nick == [nickname] then BUG ! :-(

[DrunKeN]

Hello guys, i got a problem with my eggdrop when an IRC user special character like [name].
In my scripts, when someone got this type of name, script will try to execute the nickname like a command [], and then it will just freeze my script cause he can't find any commands with this name ..

I thought when special characters were in a $variable, tcl would not try to exec them.. but im definitly wrong.. or maybe it happen sometimes ?
For me it happen in this part of code :

[lsearch -regexp $scores .:$nick:.]

if $nick got special character [] then i'll get an error msg :/

What can i do to prevent this bug ?

thanks for any help

All is OK for me when I do that:

  set pattern {.*[2-4]}
  puts [lsearch -regexp {name1 nick2} $pattern]
->1

Is your code evaled? In this case, Tcl replace the variable by its value before executing it.

Do you really need -regexp (not obviously related to your problem)?

Maybe the problem isn't affected by the regexp part.

im not able to identify it right now, im checking.. but im sure its about double evaluation of variable yeah, cause if i use a nickname like [die], it can kill my bot sometimes lol..

Maybe in utimers ? i can't prevent double evaluation of a variable in utimers i tried {$nick} and its isn't working

i don't know what can i do for the moment.

, maybe a regsub or a trim in last resort
