Re^4: s/// not replacing data

If this is the problem, would it not be easier for them to store the badwords into an array and apply it to each line?

Isn't that what I just wrote? :-) I think the terminology of whether badword/swearword is the pattern or the target is causing confusion. The OP has all the target strings in memory, but is fetching the patterns and substitutions once, only against the first string. That may indicate that there are more than will fit in memory. If not, then yes, it's much easier if everything's in arrays. Do not rebuke them with harsh words ... but rather lead them gently - with URLs - so that they may learn wisdom.	[reply]
