never the less user i am in the final stages
of a very nice blacklist script for large channels

i would like to be able to ban nicks with
special chars in them but it seems impossible.

i am currently using "string match" for compare

[01:50] <botowner> .tcl string match *[M]*!*@* *!*@*
[01:50] <bot> Tcl error: invalid command name "M"

[01:50] <botowner> .tcl string match *\[M\]*!*@* *M*!*@*
[01:50] <bot> Tcl: 1

upon blacklisting *[M]*!*@* the script banned
everyone that had a M in their nick

i would like to ban nicks with [,],-,_.\,{, and } in them

any suggestions?

Edit: I've moved this post from the FAQ to this forum due to its irrelevance. (Sir_Fz)

You won't face problems with {, }, -, _, or \ using [string match] (as long as you properly use string and list commands). You only need to skip [ and ], applying the following string map on the match should do it:

Fix your attitude so you would understand what I'm suggesting.

1) the original post refected an aspect of the orginal topic user started
2) the orginal post was directed to user
3) it is set in an array because it does have value, 5+ values
4) are you suggesting i should use:
set banmask [string map {[ \\[ ] \\]} $banmask]

set banmask [string map {[ \\{ } \\]} $banmask]

set banmask [string map {[ \\- _ \\]} $banmask]

So your issue was with the move? I simply moved it because user's topic is about ban masks and not [string match]. If you don't want anyone but user to answer you then don't do a public post in the forum. I didn't get your array argument though, I still believe using a list is a better choice.

I already said that only [ and ] have special meaning in [string match] so all you need is to apply that string map to the match as I've indicated in the sample code I wrote.

All special characters to replace which are used in nicks and masks:
