Hello,

I have a small problem. I want to create an "global ignore function" for a game script.
All my code works fine but i want to add hosts in the database containing a wildcard "*!*@Test*.org" for example.
But when the bots connects to the database an gets the informations the check the user host the * isn't a wildcard anymore also "test!test@Test.users.quakenet.org" is not matched.

How can I convert the sign * back to a wildcard ?

Ok here is a split of the ignore check code

$host ==> examp@example.users.quakenet.org

so what's the problem, you don't get *'s back from db? what did you put there and what did you get back using [hosts:get]?

mysql use % as wildcard, not *

[demond]

what do you care about mySQL's interpretation of *? you don't have WHERE clause anyway

if *'s come back to you as you saved them, I fail to see the problem here
