Match ? character

This is because the string passes through the Tcl parser, before reaching eggdrop.

The Tcl parser, will convert escape codes. Thus we need to force a \ to be sent to eggdrop, by escaping the slash.

I aint particualy sure. Maybe it requires a physical slash.

This is done by escaping the excape code - EG

"* \\?*"

Match ? character

Code:

bind pubm - "* \?*" per:command

I want to match any text said in the channel starting with the character ?. But since ? is a "matching character" it accepts any and all text said on the channel. How can I escape the ? so it matches against it? And I don't want to put anything in the proc. I want it to be in the pubm bind.
