and by the way, had to replace $nick with $1 to make it show anything..
You started off the thread referring to "$nick isop $chan", so we assumed you were using this inside an $event that recognizes $nick. If you had to use $1 instead of $nick, it sounds like you are actually using this as part of the nicklist's right-click menu, or perhaps from a timer where the nick is fed as a commandline parameter.
