Hi!
I have a problem, what i wanna do is that when you execute the command which i have created (/replaceM) it should replace words so what i want it to do is similar to the PHP function str_replace,

PHP

quote:

---

Description
mixed str_replace ( mixed $search , mixed $replace , mixed $subject [, int &$count ] )

This function returns a string or an array with all occurrences of search in subject replaced with the given replace value.

---

i want it to search for i.e afk in the whole message im sending, for example:
/replaceM im going afk now, bye!
i want it to search for 'afk' in the sentence and replace the word 'afk' with '<Away From Keyboard>'
how can i do that? search for a word in a sentence and then replace it with another word?

This should work well for you:

Thanks! That did work very well indeed.

*EDIT* nevermind, i saw how to make this in the link you sent! Thanks again

But now i have another issue, also in php you can use arrays to store information and now i need to store information in arrays but i dont know how to do it in javascript/Messenger Plus-script
so heres how i would to it in

PHP:

quote:

---

($ = declare variable)

$text = "OK! brb then. Or afk, i maybe take longer time than i think. so please dnd ";
$array1 = array("afk", "brb", "dnd");
$array2 = array("<Away From Keyboard>", "<Be Right Back>", "<Do Not Disturb>");

str_replace($array1, $array2, $text);

--Output--
OK! <Be Right Back> then. Or <Away From Keyboard>, i maybe take longer time than i think. so please <Do Not Disturb>

---

so what i need help with is how i can store multiple strings in an array.
//Zeelia

code:

---

var text = "OK! brb then. Or afk, i maybe take longer time than i think. so please dnd :)";
var array1 = new Array("afk", "brb", "dnd");
var array2 = new Array("<Away From Keyboard>", "<Be Right Back>", "<Do Not Disturb>");

function str_replace(search, replace, subject){
    var f = search, r = replace, s = subject;
    var ra = is_array(r), sa = is_array(s), f = [].concat(f), r = [].concat(r), i = (s = [].concat(s)).length;

    while(j = 0, i--){
        while(s[i] = s[i].split(f[j]).join(ra ? r[j] || "" : r[0]), ++j in f);
    }
     
    return sa ? s : s[0];
}

function is_array(m_var){
return (m_var instanceof Array);
}

str_replace(array1, array2, text);

read the JScript 5.6 documentation on arrays
or you can go to W3Schools :)

Thank you very much
I will try it out since the code which i tried to run gave me errors

Although it works, such loop code isn't needed though. JScript already has a (very powerfull) Replace function.

eg:
Debug.Trace("ThA mAn hit thA ball with the bat".replace(/A/g, "e"));
will output: "The men hit the ball with the bat"

As with everything, forum search
CookieRevised's reply to how do i replace this text? > see Part 3
CookieRevised's reply to [Question] Isn't string.replace supposed to replace all occurences ?
CookieRevised's reply to [I help them] VB2JS

PS: yes, you can also use arrays with some small coding (since the Replace function uses regular expressions and actually accepts a function reference as replacement text too). That is done several times already on the forums too (cba to search for it atm).

nevertheless nice code find

Ok alright, thank you now that you show me this example, i see how it works and i think that this way is much more easier and takes less space on the script (since the "php function" takes like 3 kb, which isn't that much anyway, on the script).
So thanks!
