Hi.

How can i check what is the first letter of a word?

What i mean is how to check if a word is a channel. Checking if its first letter is a #


Thanks.

You could use a string command

Thanks

And, how to check if ! and @ are in a word? This is to check if is a invalid hostname or no.

[TCL_no_TK]

Can use

[arfer]

It would be easy enough to check if ! and @ were present in a string AND in the correct order using regexp or string match commands but my choice would be to generally use a scan command. This is because it can simultaneously seperate out the nick, user and host components for use later in the code. A regexp command could do the same but I prefer scan.

[arfer]

Be very careful with our use of variable names. That applies to both my code and that of TCL_no_TK.

TCL_no_TK code is exactly correct except that $uhost is frequently used in eggdrop scripts to represent user@host and not nick!user@host in which case it would never pass the string match test.

In my code I use the variable name nick in the scan command. This variable name is widely used in scripts, say for example passed to a proc by a PUB bind. You would therefore have to choose an alternative name if my code was used inside such a proc.

And how to check if there is no ! and @? because it is for a nickname/hostname ban script.

From the information given so far, its time to try yourself

I dont know if you know mirc scripting, but i wanted something like:

It works like arfer's script.

[McMilan]

Look, my mirc scripting code had a if, a elseif and a else. And your tcl script had just a if and a else.
