code:

---

for(i=0;i==0;i=i){
    if (sentenceT.match(/\[t=.+?\]/i)=="[t=ps]")
        {
            Time=sentenceT.match(/\[t=.+?\].+?\[\/t\]/i)
            Debug.Trace(Time)
            sentenceT=sentenceT.replace((/\[t=.+?\].+?\[\/t\]/i),"")
           
        }
    else {i=1}}

---

Maybe this is what you're trying to do?

code:

---

Debug.Trace(Time[1])

---

no Time=[t=ps]bla bla[/t] and I want Time="bla bla"

Aah, here comes on of the most beautiful features about JScript's replace function: you can use a regular expression combined with a custom replacement handler function!

First of all, you need to put what you want to find between parentheses in your regular expression. This way, the engine will capture these parts and pass them as parameters to your replace function or as properties of the global RegExp object (e.g. RegExp.$1). This will give you almost infinite control about how the replacing is done since you can do anything inside your handler, and it is something I use a lot in my scripts too.

Here is your code adapted with String.replace. As you can see, I got rid of your for-loop (in fact, you were better off with a while-loop there) and I made an example replacement handler function.

js code:

---

sentenceT = sentenceT.replace(
    /\[t=(.+)\](.*?)\[\/t\]/gi,    //The regular expression, note the parentheses to capture parts of our interest
    function(sMatch, $1, $2, nOffset, sFull) {    //We can use a function to do the replacing!
        if($1 === "ps") {
            //We found a [t=ps] match
            Time = $2;    //Set the Time variable to what's between the tags
            return "";    //Return an empty string to remove this match from the result
        }
        //Return the matched piece untouched if nothing was recognized
        return sMatch;
    }
);

Thanks a lot it works

Sorry, when I said Time[1], I also meant this:

code:

---

Time = sentenceT.match(/\[t=.+?\](+?).\[\/t\]/i)

---

code:

---

a = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Nouns.length-1)));
b = Math.floor((Math.random()*(VerbsES.length-1)));
d = Math.floor(((Math.random()*16)+14));
e = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Places.length-1)));
f = Math.floor((Math.random()*(PlacesPrepos.length-1)));
g = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Adjectives.length-1)));
//person
if (string.match(/!person/i)){
    c = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Person.length-1)));
    string=string.replace(/!person/i, Person[c])}
//verb
if (!(c==0||c==1||c==2||c==3||string.match(/!i/i)||string.match(/!you/i)||string.match(/!we/i)||string.match(/!they/i)))
    string=string.replace(/!verbs/, VerbsES[b])
else
{
    string=string.replace(/!verbs/i, Verbs[b])
    string=string.replace(/!/g,"")
}

---

Well, as I said, you can do anything you want in your replacement handler! Only this time, we don't need any of the parameters passed to our handler function.

js code:

---

var c;
string = string.replace(/!person/i, function() {
    c = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Person.length-1)));
    return Person[c];
});

---

ya spot on but It needs to set a verb after the person and then come back to check if theres a new !person

Solved D: thanks to everyone who helped me^_^

JavaScript code:

---

//person
            string.replace(/!person/mig, function()
                    {
                        c = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Person.length-1)));
                        string = string.replace(/!person/mi, Person[c])
                        //verb
                    string = string.replace(/(.*?)!person/mi,function(sMatch, $1)
                    {
                        substr=$1
                        if (!(c==0||c==1||c==2||c==3||string.match(/!i/mi)||string.match(/!you/mi)||string.match(/!we/mi)||string.match(/!they/mi)))
                            substr=substr.replace(/!verbs/mgi,function()
                            {   
                            b = Math.floor((Math.random()*(VerbsES.length-1)));
                            return VerbsES[b]})
                        else
                            substr=substr.replace(/!verbs/mgi,function()
                            {   
                            b = Math.floor((Math.random()*(Verbs.length-1)));
                            return Verbs[b]})
                        return substr+"!person"
                    });
                    return string
                });
            //verb
            string = string.replace(/!verbs/mgi,function()
            {
                b = Math.floor((Math.random()*(VerbsES.length-1)));
                if (!(c==0||c==1||c==2||c==3||string.match(/!i/mi)||string.match(/!you/mi)||string.match(/!we/mi)||string.match(/!they/mi)))
                    return VerbsES[b]
                else
                    return Verbs[b]
            });
