I used that as an example to show what my hosts look like,
except they are not egghelp.org, I use k@in,
so it would be 'kain!k@in' and 'kain*!*k@in'

You do have the 'kain!kain@egghelp.org' host on IRC?

I've tried it myself, for example 'kain!kain@egghelp.org'
or even 'kain*!*kain@egghelp.org'
If I change my nick to 'kain-' rather than 'kain',
it gives me the same error, yet works on 'kain'

I mean if he dose have an hostmask like Nick!*@*.something.org or something similar with Nick! in it? Where "Nick" is the actual nick of the person.

no, thats not it, just lists the nick as normal no extra characters,
this only happens when they lose their nick and add a - at the end
or something like that, if their handle had the - in it wouldnt be a problem
but i dont want to go round changing peoples handles every 5 minutes
or have to write something that will, just to acomodate this code.
apart from that i cant think :/

Then it might be the way he places the masks for the users. Do a whois on a user with a "special" char that is not working and see if it's added with nick also.

Just tried that, still comes back with the same problem though,
I also added the 'set text [split $text] bellow, and that didn't work either.

Code:

proc pub:add { nick address handle chan text } {global lbn hub home privset text [split $text]if {[matchattr $handle L]} {if {[ishub $chan] == 1 } {adduserproc $nick $address $handle $chan $text}}}

Don't know if looking at that might help.

you'd have to change the [lindex $text] everywhere. but caesar's way is easier. just put a "set text [split $text]" at the beginning of your proc and all should be fine.

Thanks for the response both, nice to see caesar is still spamming around
arcane I've tried what you said and it still spits out the same error

eg;
add op user-
user- is not on the channel or I can't recognise that user.
but if I;
add op user
user is now a channel op for #channel!

for example, the 'user-'s handle is 'user' but when trying it with a -
in the nick it doesn't work, but 'user'/handle does.
its also not sending out an invite unless the user drops the special
character from their nick, but the invite thing is something else altogether.

or even

Code:

set text [split $text]

and voila, no need to change anything

Code:

set type [string tolower [lindex $text 0]]set usernick [lindex $text 1]

you are using list commands on strings. use this instead:

Code:

set type [string tolower [lindex [split $text] 0]]set usernick [lindex [split $text] 1]

The code below adds peoples channel flags by public command,
but if someone has a special character in their nick
it doesn't always recognise them, I can't really see whats wrong
here, but maybe I've been looking at it for too long.

Code:

proc adduserproc { nick address handle chan text } {global priv lbn hub home group privateset ichan [string tolower $chan]set pri private($ichan)set type [string tolower [lindex $text 0]]set usernick [lindex $text 1]set user [nick2hand $usernick]if {[onchan $usernick $chan]} {if {[nick2hand [lindex $text 1]] == 0 } {puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$usernick is not on $chan. or I can't recognise that user."return 0}if {[validuser [nick2hand $user]] == 0 } {puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$usernick is not on $chan. or I can't recognise that user."return 0}if {[matchattr $user L] == 0 } {puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :I know $usernick, but $usernick isn't authed."return 0}}if {![onchan $usernick $chan]} {set user $usernick}### Channelif {$type == "owner" && [matchattr $handle m]} {chattr $user |+nmofgv $chanputserv "MODE $chan +v $usernick"puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$usernick is now a channel $type for $chan!"if {[info exists $pri] && [channel get $chan private]} {if {$private(${ichan}) != "" } {putserv "INVITE $usernick :$private(${ichan})"}}}if {$type == "master" && [matchattr $handle m|n $chan]} {chattr $user |+mofgv-n $chanputserv "MODE $chan +v $usernick"puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$usernick is now a channel $type for $chan!"if {[info exists $pri] && [channel get $chan private]} {if {$private(${ichan}) != "" } {putserv "INVITE $usernick :$private(${ichan})"}}}if {$type == "op"} {chattr $user |+ofgv-nm $chanputserv "MODE $chan +v $usernick"puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$usernick is now a channel $type for $chan!"if {[info exists $pri] && [channel get $chan private]} {if {$private(${ichan}) != "" } {putserv "INVITE $usernick :$private(${ichan})"}}}if {$type == "voice"} {chattr $user |+fv-nmo $chanputserv "MODE $chan +v $usernick "puthelp "PRIVMSG $chan :$usernick is now a channel $type for $chan!"}

The problem is probably in the top part of the code, rather than
where the flags are actually added and invites made.
