How do I create a variable thing like (!VER)?

I want it so that when a person writes (!MEH) it's auto-replaced by a variable from my script, how can I accomplish this?

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(Wnd,Msg){
...
Msg = Msg.replace(/\(\!MEH\)/g,variable);//replace (!MEH) with string in variable
..
}

If you want it to be case insensitive then use gi rather than just g.  This just uses regular expressions, which I highly recommend for all scripters to learn.

Thanks a lot markee, you have been helpful. This forum should get a thanks mod installed

thats like a whole nother language in itself

Heh, i've gotten somewhat used to regular expressions although they vary in usage. UltraEdit and PHP have different regular expressions and now I'll have to learn the JavaScript ones

I think it's better to just look up a cheat sheet for regular expressions rather than try and learn them, it'll drive you insane trying to remember which one to use between which language / program.

PHP has two different versions of regex.

IIRC Jscript uses one of these two.

I recommend:

markee I finally got around to testing your code and although it replaces the Message thing alright it doesn't actually replace the message that is sent to your recipient, I can only access the new value from a script

Sorry, you have to return the Msg variable, I just put in ... for if you wanted to do more in the script.  If you just want to do that one thing then here is the script.

code:

---

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(Wnd,Msg){
Msg = Msg.replace(/\(\!MEH\)/g,variable);//replace (!MEH) with string in variable
return Msg;
}

Btw you can still add more than you want, I just wanted to give you an example or snippet of the code first rather than writing something fully.

Markee forgot to return the message .

code:

---

var meh = "meh"
function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(ChatWnd,Message){
    Message = Message.replace(/\(\!MEH\)/gi,meh);
return Message;
}

Edit : Beaten by markee .

Yeah, I figured it out myself. Forgot to delete my post lol Thanks for replying anyway guys.

The script is pretty much finished now, just gotta do some usability improvements to it
