Hi :X
What about a script that makes your 1st letter a capital and after your last, a dot?
i think that this isn't very hard to do.

Someone?

I think he means when you type a message?

That way even though he wouldn't normally use good punctuation... he would with that....

I made had made a StuffPlug talker for this ( StuffPlug Talker: UCase )
I might try to port this into a script.
It shouldn't be that hard...

Oh, by the way, my talker used to only capitalise the first letter.
Not the one after a dot...

Even when you do such a script, that doesn't mean punctuation will be good. Unless you never type any message longer than one sentence and never use commas .

This should work :

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage){
     sMessage.replace(sMessage, sMessage.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + sMessage.substr(1) + '.');
}

---

Matty,
i've created a new script, and i've put that script in the box, but nothing happens

edit: @ teh debugger: Function called: OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage

end with "return sMessage;"

edit, the return works fine.

---------------------------
Messenger Plus! Live
---------------------------
Couldn't start script "CapitalLetter".

The script may be defective or you may not have the proper privileges to run scripts.
---------------------------
OK   
---------------------------

apenas tenho isto e funciona:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage){
    sMessage = sMessage.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + sMessage.substr(1) + '.'
     return sMessage;
}

lol obrigado, nao vejo diferença nenhuma mas deu na mesma

ENG: tks, i don't see any diference but it works


tks every1

I tried the script and I believe some changes could me made to it.

First of all, it should not add a dot after a punctuation symbol (? ! etc..) or any symbol in general (^_^. - it adds a dot) or after emoticons.

Then it should be able to capitalise after a punctuation mark. (Hello! how are you?) The h of how should be capitalised.

I hope I haven't frustrated anyone

I had a go at it, but my mind isn't working very well today so the following is most likely highly inefficient.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage){
     return punctuate(sMessage);
}

function punctuate(s)
{
    var sentences = s.split(" ");
    for (var i = 0; i < sentences.length; i++)
    {
        if (i == sentences.length - 1 && isin(sentences[i].charAt(sentences[i].length - 1), "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"))
            sentences[i] =  sentences[i] + ".";
        if (i == 0)
            sentences[i] = sentences[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + sentences[i].substr(1);
        else
            if (isin(sentences[i-1].charAt(sentences[i-1].length - 1), ".?!"))
                sentences[i] = sentences[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + sentences[i].substr(1);
    }
    return sentences.join(" ");
}

function isin(needle, haystack)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < haystack.length; i++)
        if (haystack.charAt( i ) == needle)
            return true;
    return false;
}

tks for the code

Nice code Segosa!

i'll release a new version very soon, with a menu and with this code, download the actual version here (without the new code)

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/index.php?act=view&id=35

would it be possible to make it capitalise the first word when a new line is started?

I thought of a part of an algorithm -
If last character := A..Z or a..z or 0..9 then add a dot at end of sentence

I think it would be shorter to write than something else, right?

it works like a charm

Well works fine but it wont let me use my emotions properly or use commands such as /ping.

Can anyone fix please ?

Hi! I have tried it and yes, it wont let you use the / commands, but if you set an space after those, you will be able to use them.

Instead of "/ping", try "/ping "


Oh! But when you have this script enabled, you can't use the plus! downloaded sounds... sad thing

It needs some checking:
- For sentences starting with /
- For sentences starting with www. or http://

code:

---

if (sMessage.charAt(0) != '/' && sMessage.substr(0, 4) != 'www.' && sMessage.substr(0, 7) != 'http://') {
//code here
}

Success! After much fiddling, i've done 75% of what you guys want/need.

Typing "/" will make the rest of the message untouched by the punctuation changes.
Automatically makes the letter after a space after a "!", "?" and "." a capital.
    (ie   woot. i rocks! yep!
                 becomes
            Woot. I rocks! Yep!)

Automatically ends any open-ended sentences (ie, without any ending punctuation) with a full stop.


All that jazz...

Except, i cannot configure it so that it ignores messages starting with  "www." "http:" etc...

By the way - i mostly used the guy a few post up's code, but tweaked it a bit.


edit:  It does affect custom emoticons, unfortunately, but only if its the first character. Just press space before entering an emoticons.

hmm all I did was added the above 2 posts codes together and I didn't get any errors

Can someone post teh full script

I'm dyslexic and can edit it all in different parts because I don't understand.

sorreh

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage){
     
     if (sMessage.charAt(0) != '/' && sMessage.substr(0, 4) != 'www.' && sMessage.substr(0, 7) != 'http://') {

}
     return punctuate(sMessage);
}

function punctuate(s)
{
    var sentences = s.split(" ");
    for (var i = 0; i < sentences.length; i++)
   
    {
        if (sentences[i].charAt(0) == "/")
         {
             return sentences.join(" ");
         }
     else{
        if (i == sentences.length - 1 && isin(sentences[i].charAt(sentences[i].length - 1), "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789"))
            {
                sentences[i] =  sentences[i] + ".";
            }
        if (i == 0)
            {
                sentences[i] = sentences[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + sentences[i].substr(1);
            }
        else
            {
                if (isin(sentences[i-1].charAt(sentences[i-1].length - 1), ".?!"))
                {
                    sentences[i] = sentences[i].charAt(0).toUpperCase() + sentences[i].substr(1);
                }
            }   
       
        }
    }

   
   
    return sentences.join(" ");
}

function isin(needle, haystack)
{
    for (var i = 0; i < haystack.length; i++)
        if (haystack.charAt(i) == needle)
            return true;
    return false;

Might wanna add no parse to that post - a lightbulb smilie is putting it off abit, I wouldn't know how to correct that

I was gonna say if you accidently put "i" instead of "I" as well, something to correct that -

This is a very useful script for me I might add lol

I think someone should make it so it adds " ' " 's into the right spots or I could just replace all the theyre with they're and so on

There's one very annoying bug in this script. If you select an emote from the emoticonpanel these do not get sent (empty line..only a . ), however they will be displayed if you type the shortcut.

If this can be fixed many people would be grateful...it's annoying when you have to type/remember all these shortcuts and this will probably be a reason for many not to use this script.

More bugs:
- dots get placed after everything, even if you end the sentence yourself with a . ? or !
- If you end a sentence yourself with a . and you type on the next word does not get capitalized (no double dot there though).

Additional info: i downloaded the script from http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/index.php?act=view&id=35

would it be possible to add a command or shortcut that would disabe the script for that message only?

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(pChatWnd, sMessage){

lastchar = sMessage.substr(sMessage.length-1, sMessage.length);

switch(lastchar) {
case '?':
    haschar = 1;
    break;
case '}':
    haschar = 1;
    break;
case ')' :
    haschar = 1;
    break;
default:
    haschar = 2;
    break;
}

firstchar = sMessage.substr(0,1);

if(firstchar == '/') {
haschar = 4;
}

firstthree = sMessage.substr(0,7);

if(firstthree == '(!nor) ') {
haschar = 3;
}

if(haschar == '1') {
    sMessage = sMessage.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + sMessage.substr(1);
} else if (haschar == '2') {
    sMessage = sMessage.substr(0,1).toUpperCase() + sMessage.substr(1) + '.';
} else if (haschar == '3') {
    sMessage = sMessage.substr(7);
}
     return sMessage;
}

thing that sucks with this is if u try to use commands they dont work.. eg: doing one of these /stealdp ends up as /stealdp. and wont work. so u have to go to the effort od turning capital letter and a dot script off...

yeah that one annoys me, its nice to look formal in messaging, but with a fullstop after a questionmark you seem uneducated

Can only be capital letter? Remove the dot at the end?
