Finding Words

I'm working on a spam/language protector for my game, but I don't know how to find the bad language, and how to change it to certain things. But I want to change words to other words... Like... (i'm not going to use bad words here, I'm just gonna use random words)

phone would be automatically changed to television
then
fish would be changed to candy.

Or, here's a little example..

In the input box, I type in.... "Hello everyone! How are you guys doing today?"

It would be automatically changed to.. "Hello everyone!How art thou guys doith today?" I know my mid-english words are horrible, but that's not why i'm posting.
Can anybody help me?

Nope, that was pure random to show what I was looking for.

I posted a replace text proc here that would work:

For future reference, ignore anyone who uses "u" instead of "you". :oP

Isn't there something more simple I can use? The only thing I want is to replace certain words with other words of my choice :P. Something like findtext()?

Find text would be:
if(findtext("[msg]", "chicken"))
usr<<"No Fowl Laugauge!"
//I don't know how to replace it, sry =(

That's exactly what it does.

<code>proc/ReplaceText(message, replace_what, replace_with) while(findtext(message, replace_what)) var/position = findtext(message, replace_what) var/before = copytext(message, 1, position) var/after = copytext(message, position + lentext(replace_what), 0) message = "[before][replace_with][after]" return message</code>

(I got this one from Spuzzum, by the way.)

Also ignore anyone who can't spell "medieval."

I'm a bit confused on this, and I'm not sure how I'd set it up. This is what I have. 
mob/verb/say(t as message)world << "[usr]:  [ReplaceText(t)]"


proc/ReplaceText(message, replace_what, replace_with)
    while(findtext(message, replace_what))
        var/position = findtext(message, replace_what)
        var/before = copytext(message, 1, position)
        var/after = copytext(message, position + lentext(replace_what), 0)
        message = "[before][replace_with][after]"
    return message

Just look at the arguments that go into the proc defenition:
ReplaceText(message, replace_what, replace_with)

So if you have a message, and you want to replace all the words "bleh" in that message with "arf", you do this:

<code>mob/verb/TestReplaceText() var/message = "once upon a bleh there was a bleh" message = ReplaceText(message, "bleh", "arf")</code>

The result: "once upon a arf there was a arf"

If you want to have it replace all the words in a list with their counterparts, use an associative list.

<code>var/wordlist = list("short"="curd", "fork"="spork", "fish"="pollywog")</code>

Where the first word, "short" is replaced with "curd", etc... Then:

<code>mob/verb/Say(message as message) for(var/word in wordlist) message = ReplaceText(message, word, wordlist[word]) world << "[src]: [message]"</code>
