ok i need help in how to replace this text like

EX. :

i type:   lol (!SM)

then it ends up when i send it:

John says: lol Sup Mate




how do i do that?

You can either use this code that I did (using regular expressions) or you could use something like answering machine+(I realise this wasn't the right thing )

code:

---

var Sup = /\(\!SM\)/gi;
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(wnd,msg){
    msg = msg.replace(Sup,"Sup Mate");
    return msg;
}

---

ty il try that

edit: is it possible to replace a normal strand of text like

i type: LoL this

to replace "this" in what i type

then it will turn up like

John says: LoL hello

lol im alittle noob on this "replacing stuff" but im good at everything else

I suggest you look up how to do regular expressions, they help outheaps.  For just a basic string (using just letters or numbers assymbols can have a different meaning) then you can use my code as anexample and put the likes of the following

code:

---

var replace1 = /text/gi;
function ...(...){
    string = string.replace(replace1,"text to replace it with");
}

---

For symbols like / \ . * $ ^ + ?  etc then you will need to prefix those characters with \

There are a heap more thing involved in regular expressions but those few things will get you started (though I suggest you try learning more).

it doesn't seem i can use that with OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage or OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage... it works now...

im just making a script right now that will change some words into this using a list. how can i do that .....????


EDIT: like say

a list of words like this:

hello
hi
whatever
hey

changed into

sup
yo
w/e
hay

You can do this all in one long line

code:

---

[...]
string = string.replace(/hello/gi,"sup").replace(/hi/gi,"yo").replace(/whatever/gi,"w/e").replace(/hey/gi,"hay");
[...]

---

You can do these all individually  and you can set the regular expressions as variables like I did before, but why bother if you only have a small list like this.  Unfortunately I don't think it is possible to use a for count and an array so you will have to keep changing the script itself (though if anyone can prove me wrong I will be appreciative).

thanks so much i hope this will help other people viewing this

and how can i check if it is the actual word and not part of the word

eg. teh is replaced by the but the function should not replace tehn with then

t-h combination is what i type wrong most of the times...
thanks

Use regular expressions!

code:

---

var nMessage = Message.replace(/(^|\s|\n)teh($|\s|\n)/gi, "$1the$2");

---

quote:

---

/(^|\s|\n)teh($|\s|\n)/gi, "$1the$2"

thanks,
you are a life saver, it would have taken ages to compile that string expression

no more spelling mistakes in chat then
