How to combine several string map functions in one?

And why would you need to manually escape chars in the element name? The error is not caused by the string map, but by something else you're doing.

How to combine several string map functions in one?

Well, I bind join and used it in my script.
Nick: Sa]ma... no error

Then I changed to the nick:
Nick: Sa][ma.... error

Tcl error, invoked from within
'missing close bracket' or something like that.

I am trying to use $nick in a variable a global array join_part($nick).

I saw it always gives errors if two characters or more are present, not if one is present,

join_part([TesTeR]) --> gives and error
join_part([TesTeR) --> doesn't given an error

Well, it seems to work only for one char. If there are two or more same chars, then I get an error of invoked.

What error do you get? It works just fine for me.

I think 'regsub -all' will be a better idea, thanx anyway.

LOL thanx. Yes we need to add one blackslash to the original one and two backslashes to the one to replace the original one with.

So it will be like this, I guess.
Code:
set nick [string map {[ \[ ] \] { \{ } \} \ \\} $nick]

Yes and no. I can't believe you don't know how braces work after all this time scripting tcl. Read http://tcl.tk/man/tcl8.5/TclCmd/Tcl.htm#M10

{[ \\[ ] \\] \{ \\\{ \} \\\} \\ \\\\}

I would like to know how to perform multiple, string map functions in one line. This function: (to reduce)

Code:

[string map {"]" "\]"} $nick] + [string map {"[" "\["} $nick] + [string map {"{" "\{"} $nick] + [string map {"}" "\}"} $nick] + [string map {"\" "\\" $nick]

Basically I want to escape all the special characters in a nick. I know how todo it with regsub, but I want to use string map as it is faster.
