Forums Scripts & Popups Annoying nickname

somone on the server i use has a nick of "|" the | is used in mirc code to split commands up and i find whenever he triggers timers or some commands i end up with errors as a timer such as /timer 1 10 /msg $nick hello and welcome to $chan ends up being rand as 2 seperate commands and my script trying to run an alias called hello

dose this problem have an easy answer or will it be easyer to add him to an ignored group so my scripts just dont effect him ?

I would add this:
if $nick == $chr(124) return
or
if $$1 == $chr(124) return
(if it doesn't have $nick identifier)

isn't there some way to combat this easily so that, that user can still use all of my mirc bot commands, as it is probably the biggest bot on the server, except for the services ofc. He isnt worth changing all of my code for though

did you try to buffer the nick in a %var ? maybe it would work
