Sorry, i forgot i couldn't put ' after a return
use this instead:

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
if (Message.substr(0, 4)== "test"){
return'test1'
}
if (Message.substr(0, 4) == "cant"){
return'can"t'
}
if (Message.substr(0, 4) == "dont"){
return'don"t'
}
}

---

ok i have fixed up my brothers code

code:

---

var original = new Array("dont","cant","test");//what you are changing from
var changed = new Array("don't","can't","test1");//what you are changing to
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
for(i in original){
Message = Message.replace(original[i],changed[i]);
}
return Message;
}

Use nanafreak's code, the code above is verbose and unneccesarily long when you are working with alot of words and its biggest disadvantage is that it only parses the word if it is the first thing that is typed (and also only does one word).

ie 'dont' will get changed into 'don't'

but if you typed 'hello!! hey, dont do that', it will not be parsed.

Thanks everyone.
this one is working.

var original = new Array("dont","cant","test");//what you are changing from
var changed = new Array("don't","can't","test1");//what you are changing to
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
for(i in original){
Message = Message.replace(original[i],changed[i]);
}
return Message;
}

Again, nobody succeeded in giving the right code.

code:

//By Jimbodud
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd, Message){
if (Message.substr(0, 4)== "test"){
return'test1'
}
if (Message.substr(0, 4) == "cant"){
return'can't'
}
if (Message.substr(0, 4) == "dont"){
return'don't'
}
}

This code will only match if the word is in front, and will forget the rest of the message. Example: "cant do that" gives "can't" without the "do that".

code:

---

//By NanaFreak
var original = new Array("dont","cant","test");//what you are changing from
var changed = new Array("don't","can't","test1");//what you are changing to
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
for(i in original){
Message = Message.replace(original[i],changed[i]);
}
return Message;
}

This code is better, only it's case-sensitive and it'll only replace one occurrence per array element. That's why markee was using RegExp's. So, the code which should do it:

code:

---

var original = new Array("dont","cant","test");//what you are changing from
var changed = new Array("don't","can't","test1");//what you are changing to
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
for(i in original){
Message = Message.replace(RegExp(original[i], "gi"), changed[i]);
}
return Message;
}

Exactly, all I forgot was to re-define Message

* markee writes note to always use the scripting engine now on before posting any code
