  34 <PRE>Hi, lowly oper on one of Espernet's servers, here; might make a server of my own
  35 after moving to Japan soon for JET, depending on available connection and
  36 computer parts. New to this list. Anyway, enough for introductions, on to why I
  37 joined:
  38
  39 Can operserv be made to (optionally, at each command) perform 'akill view' and
  40 'akill list' commands using the wildcard evaluation in reverse?
  41
  42 What I mean is: I type in &quot;/msg operserv akill list-r <A HREF="http://www.ircservices.za.net/mailman/listinfo/ircservices-coding">malak at 218.22.22.40</A>&quot; and
  43 operserv tells me &quot;sup. you've got an akill phrased like '*@218.22.*', and
  44 that's what's killing him.&quot;
  45
  46 This would alleviate the issue of, upon seeing a user presenting his address and
  47 asking why he's akilled, an oper having to /guess/ what part of the address is
  48 in the set akill. In other words, this:...
  49
  50 [11:53:44] -&gt; *operserv* akill list *218.22.22.40*
  51 [11:53:45] -OperServ- Current AKILL list:
  52 [11:53:47] -&gt; *operserv* akill list *218.22.22.*
  53 [11:53:48] -OperServ- Current AKILL list:
  54 [11:53:51] -&gt; *operserv* akill list *218.22*
  55 [11:53:52] -OperServ- Current AKILL list:
  56
  57 ...wouldn't need to happen.
  58
  59
  60
  61 I don't know how the innards of the coding are set up, but it strikes me as
  62 likely that there's probably a single function somewhere that takes in two
  63 strings and returns a bool based on whether the first string matches the
  64 wildcard structure of the second string. If I'm right about that, then the
  65 whole code for 'akill list' could be duplicated, with the only change (aside
  66 from the name) being reversing the order in which the two strings go into that
  67 function when it's called. (Unless I'm missing something--it admittedly has
  68 been a couple years since I coded.)
  69
  70 I apologize if this idea has been brought up before--I skimmed through the list
  71 of changes to 5.0 on the website and didn't see anything that looked like what
  72 I am thinking.
  73
  74 Thanks for your time,
