ASCII Convertion

I got a little question, how do I convert from text to ASCII?
Meaning, i want to show the ascii 9 in the end of a certain message.
In mIRCScript, it's $asc(9) or $chr(9), and I need to find the Tcl equivalent. Thanks in advance!

Check out the "scan" and "format" commands. They should be able to perform those tasks, and more.

EDIT: Alright, got it

But it strips the character I need :<

Strips? huh?

It just... Doesn't let it appear in the message

I mean, the ASCII character 9 is a blank character, but it triggers a script in mIRCSCript, and well, when I put it in my Eggbot, it doesn't trigger that script for other people when it needs to, which got me to the conclusion that it doesn't make it appear in the message, I'm guessing because it's either an irregular character or because 'tis a blank character. :p

If it's always ascii -9, you could try something like this (or however the message should be constructed, \x09 will be replaced with the specified character):

Code: Select all

puthelp "PRIVMSG yournick :blah \x09 bleh"

it's the tab char, can't you try to match \t ?
