I am writing a script for an IRC bot that basically monitors text for certain words, and takes action against naughty users. Right now it is something like:
if (($message=~/damn/i) or ($message=~/crap/i)) { #but with harsher la +nguage, and more cases ;) #action goes here. Kick, ban, etc... }
I want to make it a bit more robust, by filtering all those lame evasion techniques. Example: d4mn, d a m n, d.a.m.n, d 4m.n... (You get the picture, It's an anal bot :D ) I could either find some sort of general regexp like ~/d?(a|4)?m?n/i or maybe some kind of wordlist that I could feed in to the program using DBI or something similiar. Any ideas?
