Variable interpolation

2003-06-22T14:06:34-04:00

Hello,

I would like to get my bot to greet people as they enter the channel, but using a random string from a list. The code I'm using is as follows:-

Code:

set greets {     "Hi $nick, good to see you"     "$nick, come on in and warm your feet"     "Look guys, it's $nick!"}proc user_join {nick uhost hand chan args} {     global greets     putchan $chan "[lindex $greets [rand [llength $greets]]]"}bind join * "*" user_join

It's working fine, except that the $nick variable is being parsed literally, with the greet coming out as "Look guys, it's $nick!" rather than "Look guys, it's AmazingWilf!". I've been browsing through tcl documentation for a couple of days now to try to figure out how I can get the interpreter to interpolate the value of $nick rather than the literal, but to no avail.

Can anyone help with this?

Thanks in advance,

David
