Hi guys. Sorry.

I got the swearwords working with using a suggestion to make an array of badwords and then apply the s///.

That worksgreat now. I don't know how to apply that same fix or idea for the emoticon filtering beacause it's more than one replacement.

For emotions there is a face (contains something like: *smile*), a location (containing the URL of the image) and a name (something like: smilie). So it's a three-part s///. How could this be done using the array method because this, too, is having the same problem as the swearwords did.

Thanks!

my $data = qq(SELECT id, name, location, face FROM emoticons);
my $sth = $dbh->prepare($data);
$sth->execute() or die $dbh->errstr;

my ($id, $name, $location, $face);
$sth->bind_columns(\$id, \$name, \$location, \$face);
foreach my $line (@keep)
{
   my ($username, $message, $date, $ip) = split(/<!!>/, $line);
   while ($sth->fetch)
   {
      $message =~ s|(?<!\S)\Q$face\E(?!\S)| <img src="$location" alt="
+$name"> |gi;   
   }
   if ($message =~ m|^/me|i)
   {
      $message =~ s|^/me||i;
      print qq(<b><i><a href="#" TITLE="Message sent on $date by $ip">
+$username</a></i></b> <i>$message</i><br>);
   }
   else
   {
      print qq(<b><a href="#" TITLE="Message sent on $date by $ip">$us
+ername</a>:</b> $message<br>);
   }
}
