Re: right aligning nicks + nickmode

Unfortunately that does not work. It displays

<@   Bob>

I think the script is to be read this way:

    ... {ownmsgnick {ownnick $2 $['.$length.']0}}$1');
                             ^     ^
                             |     |
                         display   |
                         the '@'   |
                                   |
                                   |
                             display the name,
                             /after/ adding $length
                            spaces

If I could write something like

    $nickAndmode = $2 + $0

Then I feel

    $['.$length.']nickAndMode

would work, but I do not how how to do it in perl/irssi.

Another possible solution would be to shift the whole

    {ownnick $2 $0}

but alas, I do not know how to apply the $[-shift]number syntax
to curyly brackets, grrrrrrrrrrr
