Hey,

I've some little client scripting. I created a #say command, which allows certain ppl to talk with the client. I've a problem: When users use the | character, the hub detects this as the end of a command
<INPUT> #say Test1|Test2|Test3
<OUTPUT> Test1

I'm using now this to escape this:
info = string.gsub(info, "%|", " ")
My question: Is there a way to make it a | character without ending the command? I tried with:
info = string.gsub(info, "%|", "\|")
but doesn't work. Any other ideas?

You can escape pipe in two ways.
First is original dc protocol way, escaping | with /%DCN124%/
Second is DC++ way, escaping | with &#124;

Thank you PPK. Going to try!

After the try's:
info = string.gsub(info, "%|", "&#124;")     -- works
