How-To Rich Edit Object, replace :) with a image

[Spryz]

im making a small chat application, and im using Rich Edit Object as the chat screen for all messages, and using MooClick as the power for sending and recieving messages.

Im just wondering, how when a message is send/recieve, how can i scan it for a code such as #smile# in the message and replace it with a


[color:#FF0000]Player: On Message[/color]
+ P_OnMessage_GetSubchannel("MooSock")=1
Set text to "["+PCU_GetName$("MooSock")+"] "+P_OnMessage_GetText$("MooSock")+NewLine$

im sure there was an example in the old forums but my searches resulted in finding nothing, does anyone know where i can find the old example of how this was done ?

Here is an example that was posted in the old forum, to insert smileys to a rich edit object :

To convert the smileys to RTF text, you have to create an empty RTF file with wordpad, save it, insert an image, save it to another file and extract the difference between both files with notepad.
