Tcl error [test]: syntax error in expression

This is due to the genral formatting of your script.

Tcl executes code, based on blocks or lines. All depending, how it is listed.

To start a block you open a bracker {.

ANd you close like so }

The problem is, if you close the bracket, then go to a new line, Tcl treats it as complete.

As such, havign the else command the way you would with mIRC, doesn't work in Tcl.

mIRC uses what they call a lazy interpreter, where things are pretty much worked around, and it has no real format to it.

To fix this, you will need to change the way the if-elseif-else block is placed together.

thx... now it makes the if command... but then... Tcl error [test]: invalid command name "else"

Code is now:

bind pub - "!test" test

proc test {nick userhost hand chan target} {
if {$nick == "\]Facility\["} {putchan $chan "Test #1"}
else {putchan $chan "Test #2"}
}

You need to enclose the word/phrase in a Tcl string.

This can be done using ""

IE

"\]blah\["

have a problem with this script:

bind pub - "!test" test

proc test {nick userhost hand chan target} {
if {$nick == \]Facility\[} {putchan $chan "Test #1"}
else {putchan $chan "Test #2"}
}

eggdrop says: Tcl error [test]: syntax error in expression "$nick == \]Facility\["

same without \ in front of ] and [ --->Tcl error [test]: syntax error in expression "$nick == ]Facility["

hope you can help... thx
