Cannot assign proc return value to a variable

Damn !
Lol it's been years since I last wrote TCL code. I guess I need to re-read that stuff and refresh my memory !
Thanks guys.

User, because it was saying "invalid command name" so I though it was trying to evaluate the user's ban mask as a command.

That's exactly what it is doing and it is BECAUSE OF THE BRACKETS (not braces), so get rid of them
This is extremely basic stuff... read http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/Tcl.htm#M10

Tcl error: invalid command name "tester!*@*""
...
Code:
if {[$l_banmask" == "*!*@*"]} {...}

Why did you put brackets around that expression?

Did you bother reading the FAQ and the Sticky about how to get proper DEBUG data?

You didn't tell us the full error, and I don't feel like sitting here figuring out your script's logic, so please post the output of .set errorInfo (after reading the FAQ section dealing with finding bugs/script errors, and reading the Sticky about how to help us help you.)

And if you come back and say "all .set errorInfo says is "What? You Need Help?"" we're going to collectively neuter you

Ok I'm writing a script with many functions but, assuming all variables in the code below are declared and the proc notice:nochannotice calls none:bankickthenick, why do I get the following error when a nick called tester (for example) sends a channel notice:

Tcl error: invalid command name "tester!*@*""

Code:

bind notc - "*" notice:nochannoticeproc none:banmask {p_chan p_nick p_bantype} {  set l_uhost [getchanhost $p_nick $p_chan]  switch -- $p_bantype {    1 { set l_banmask "$p_nick!*@*"}    2 { set l_banmask "*!*@[lindex [split $l_uhost @] 1]" }    3 { set l_banmask "*!*$l_uhost" }    default { set l_banmask "*!*@[lindex [split $l_uhost @] 1]" }  }  if {[$l_banmask" == "*!*@*"]} {    return 0  } else {    return $l_banmask  }}proc none:bankickthenick {p_nick p_chan} {   if {[botisop $p_chan] && [onchan $p_nick $p_chan]} {    set l_banmask [none:banmask $l_chan $l_nick 1]    putserv "mode $l_chan +b $l_banmask"    putserv "kick $l_chan $p_nick"  }}

isn't the following line

Code:

set l_banmask [none:banmask $l_chan $l_nick 1]

the correct way to do this if I want to assign the return value none:banmask to the variable l_banmask ?
