Please re-read the FAQ. This has been noted since the start, under tyhe heading "Normal text".

the point was to end the color scheme, not start it, the \017 thing did the job quickly, u might want to add that to the TCL FAQ just in case

You should realy see my post in the Tcl FAQ forum.

Because colour codes use numbers, it may well be possible that your text may class with the code, because they also contain numbers.

As such, you should use double digit colour codes to get around this.

OK, instead of 4 for red, use 04

Escaping a char in your tcl (http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.4/TclCmd/Tcl.htm#M15) doesn't affect how the client render your message, only what you send out to the server.
Did you try that \017 yet?

Why did you escape the 0? it makes it a null byte (\000).
You should consider using \017 (plain text) to escape the color.

im guessing the solution might be a simple one, but for someone thats not a big pro with TCL its a bit mind twisting.

simply enough, wat im trying to do is make the bot message this little part of a message to the specified place:

[+0]

i know that i would have to use backslashes to make it interprate the brackets as "normal" chars, but the thing is, i need the plus sign to be green n next to the zero, so i used this:

\[\0039+\003\0\]

i used the second color thing to end the first one, but by doing this little thing, the rest of the complete message gets erased

(Cluster: 1) (Communities: 24 [+

above is an example of wat the bot says, it pretty much deletes the rest of the message since it seems to get stuck in writing out the [+0] thing.

any help at all will be greatly appreciated
