NICK is not NICK, in a list

here's a better proc (and no, it's not by me )

Code:

proc varrep {string what with} {if {![string match "*$what*" $string]} {return $string}set cutstart [expr [string first $what $string] - 1]set cutstop  [expr $cutstart + [string length $what] + 1]set string [string range $string 0 $cutstart]$with[string range $string $cutstop end]return $string}

set msg [varrep $msg "nick" $::botnick]

IRC is still not beeing replaced and my irc-nick lands in front of $msg .

Check if the element is found before you do the replacement (like my lsearch of [channels] in our previous thread)
'lsearch' returns -1 when what you search for is not found in the list and that's the only thing that could cause this behaviour. Again: check the case of that word in your list.. are you sure it's in all uppercase like the element you search for?

Hi,

thanks for your answer.

set msg [split $msg]
set msg [lreplace $msg [lsearch $msg "IRC"] [lsearch $msg "IRC"] $nick]
set msg [join $msg]

I tried this code now but it's still the same. IRC is still not beeing replaced and my irc-nick lands in front of $msg .

Any other idea??

My guess is that the element "IRC" is not found, so 'lsearch' returns "-1" and that's where your nick ends up (remember: it's case sensitive)
Also make sure your $msg is a list before using list commands on it

Code:

set msg [split $msg]

and then

Code:

set msg [join $msg]

if you want it output as a string later on.

Hi,

I got a problem with lreplace and lsearch . I tried a few ways but I don't get it working correctly!

I got his:

msg = Hello Guys. Blablabla bla bla IRC bla bla bla bla.

I want to replace in $msg that IRC with $nick (current nick of the triggerer).

So I tried this one:

set msg [lreplace $msg [lsearch $msg "IRC"] [lsearch $msg "IRC"] $nick]

But then he put's $nick in FRONT of the line instead of replacing IRC with $nick .

Can someone help me please?
