I'm writing a script and I'd like to be able to have it analyze a nick on join and determine if it's Capitalized or not.

the other aspect is, that since IRC nicks can have special characters as their first character, I'd need to strip it of all special characters before checking for a capped up nick.

any help would be appreciated

This should strip all characters other than [A-z]:

ty Fz, what about just to check if the first letter of a nick is uppercase? is there a way to do that with an eggdrop?

Returns 1 if it starts with a capital letter or a number, 0 if doesnt.

You simply use them in an if-statement. for example:
