Hi

I was playing around with the built in text replacer in Plus! and I got the funny idea of replacing Japanese Romaji with Kanji.

But to my suprise I could only edit the text that I write myself, which makes my idea a bit harder.

Here's the thing that I would like to do:

I write something in romaji   =  Becomes kanji
My friend writes something in kanji  = Becomes romaji


I do not request a dictionary, I will add the words myself if I could get my hands on a script like this.



Thank you..

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/browse/

There is no script in the database that fits my needs.

hmmm... (untested)

code:

---

var romaji = new Array(
"Just",
"Like",
"This",
"Separated by comma",
"unless if it's the last one."
);

var kanji = new Array(
"Same",
"Goes",
"Here"
);

function OnEvent_ChatWndSendMessage(Chatwnd, Message){
for(i=0;i<romaji.length;i++){
var Word = new RegExp(romaji[i], "gi");
Message = Message.replace(Word, kanji[i]);
}
return Message;
}

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Origin != Messenger.MyName && MessageKind == 1){
for(i=0;i<kanji.length;i++){
var Word = new RegExp(kanji[i], "gi");
Message = Message.replace(Word, romaji[i]);
}
return Message;
}
}

Paste that in a new script and ther you go

it might fail in some cases though...

Thank you so much for taking time to write that. But I feel kind of dumb since I don't understand what to replace and where.

---

code:

---

var romaji = new Array(
"FirstWord",
"SecondWord",
"ThirdWord",
"FourthWord",
"FifthWord."
);

var kanji = new Array(
"KanjiWord",
"SecondKanjiWord",
"ThirdKanjiWord"
);

---

But why FirstWord and SecondWord? Are they linked with Kanjiword and SecondKanjiWord?

Let's say that:

FirstWord gets changed to A
KanjiWord gets changed to B

Will "A" then become "B" when i type and will an incoming "B" become "A"?


Again, sorry for being slow

code:

---

var romaji = new Array(
"testing",
"test123",
"tester"
);

var kanji = new Array(
"testo",
"testthis",
"roflmao456"
);

I think it will be okay since romaji is Japanese spelled with letters

And Kanji is Japanese signs..

And are you saying that the word that will replace can't be longer than the original word?
Because the built in function can. It just doesn't have any support for incoming messages

From the Plus! Scripting Documentation:

OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage
Return Value:

A string containing the message to be displayed in the chat window instead of Message. If you do not want to modify the message, simply return Message without changing it. The new string will be parsed for possible format codes. It is important to remember that the new message cannot be longer than the original one (Message.length) and will be cut if necessary. Also, Messenger will not re-parse the message for emoticons codes.

ow, this might be a little more difficult than i thought.

You also have to remember that changing to kanji is probably not the best to change it into as there are at least 2 ways that every kanji can be pronounced and there are many kanji that make the same sound and hence same romaji.  The only way to do a script that you were after by any means is a romaji to hiragana or a romaji to katakana script that could translate either way.

However there is one other possibility and that is to make sure that your friend uses a hiragana/katakana/kanji to romaji converter before sending a message to you and hence being able to have the longer message.

These are just some things to think about when making the script (whoever decides to devote their time to the project).

var oString = "abcd";
var eString = oString.replace(/a|b|c|d/g,function($1){
                    switch($1){
                        case "a":

                        case "d"

                    }
                });
return eString;
