Using \ in bots nick?

I have some bots and I want to put a \ at the end of their nicks. How would I go about doing that? I just get errors when I try it. Thanks!

\ is a special char in tcl
you have to escape it by adding another \ infront of it

Worked great, thanks. Although now there is a new problem:

<hub> [01:51] net: connect! sock 3
<hub> [01:51] DNS resolved 0.0.0.0 to mooo.com
<hub> [01:51] Telnet connection: mooo.com/3333
<hub> [01:51] net: connect! sock 11
<hub> [01:51] Refused moo@mooo.com (invalid handle: moo\)

I changed the host and IP to protect the innocent.

You should define 'botnet-nick' to another nickname than your bot has in irc. \ seems not to be a valid char for handles OR you just didnt add that bot to the hub with the trailing \
