and demond is calling me a regex fanatic, even if I would use simple something like:

Code: Select all

set id [string last . [set string [string trim $string {[]@}]]]
set string [string range $string 0 [expr {$id -1}]]

instead of string trim, you can use another string range, but to keep flexibility of the port number it might be better that way, you can then also get the port with [string range $string [expr {$id +1}] end] (if you save the other one somewhere else), in case it is even neccessary ^-^.
