~~~~PROBLEM SOLVED~~~~~~

So I wanna add a chat filter, or rather edit my chat filter. Currently I am using a Mithscape 508 source. The part I'm dealing with in PublicChat.java says:

Code:

if (p.rights == 0) {
    if(p.chatText.startsWith("shit") || p.chatText.startsWith("fuck") || p.chatText.startsWith("whore") || p.chatText.startsWith("slut")) {
        p.chatText = "****";
        }
}

(I don't get any errors while compiling, that's not the problem.)

Right now, when the text contains shit, fuck, etc., it replaces the whole line with "****". What I want to do is, replace only the swear word with ****, or another word. What I need help with is what to put instead of

Code:

p.chat = "****"

Any help will be appreciated

Use a substring.

Sorry, I should have elaborated more, my java coding skills is that of a kindergartner; maybe a 1st grader. In short, I don't even know what a substring is. Can you elaborate for a noob?

i am having the same problem! i am also new to java and would like to get to know it better (i have been php coding for a while now) and id like a tutorial on substrings.

p.chatText.replaceAll("shit", "****");
p.chatText.replaceAll("fuck", "****");
p.chatText.replaceAll("gay", "***");

Get the picture?

I am sorry. i am sort of a noob at coding java (as i said before), and i have been trial-and-erroring for a while trying to get this darn filter to work! here is my code

Code:

if(p.chatText.contains("shit") || p.chatText.contains("fuck") || p.chatText.contains("gay")) {
	p.chatText.replaceAll("shit", "****");
	p.chatText.replaceAll("fuck", "****");
	p.chatText.replaceAll("gay", "***");
    }

please tell me what i have wrong. sorry to bother you, but i'd like to get this accomplished by sunrise

Help is appreciated, unfortunately, its still not working. I built it fine with no errors, but it doesn't replace anything with ****. What, specifically should I put? If what you posted is specifically what I should put, where do I put it?

Strings are immutable, you cannot change them. so,
p.chatText = p.chatText.replaceAll("shit", "****");
