Im needing to figure a way to replace certain words in text and am quite stuck =p. *not language filter*

Lets say for instance I want to replace the sigh @ when people speak.. How can I do this and/or wich libary would suit me best in doing this?

Is this a newbie question. Seems pretty complicated.

I have figured out how to to it with the deadron lib but Ive ran into another problem
mob
    verb
        Browser2()
            set category= "Host"
            browser = input("What to browse?","Browser input",browser) as message
            var/search_string = {"
"}
            var/replacement = "<br>"
            var/sanitized_text = dd_replacetext(browser, search_string, replacement)
    
            search_string = "/n"
            sanitized_text = dd_replacetext(sanitized_text, search_string, replacement)
    
            world << browse("[sanitized_text]")
            return

I was wanting to replace the the spaceing down with <br> so It would show up on the browser as spaced down words, But it wont seem to replace the {"
"}

You need to learn about text macros. =)

var/search_string = "\n"

\n is a line break. You can see the rest of the text macros by looking up "macros (text)" in the Dream Maker help.
