Title: Stange nick detection
Post by: Shurlock on 20 April, 2005, 00:52:50

Can someone please help me out?
I've searched, but too many possible's came up.

I need to detect nicknames using non-ASCII characters, in particular names like ^-_-^

I know the ^ has a special function and I just can't find a solution.

Thanks in advance.

Escape characters?

if string.find(nick,"%^")

if you put a % before a magic char, it loses its special meaning. :)
