^word$ should be enough, no? Good thing I took a reference screenshot. And I forgot to test it with 今.

The trouble I am having is that javascript doesn't have the ability to do a look behind. So I can't easily tell what character comes before the first letter of the string.

I am thinking about running through the process twice... forwards, reverse everything, then backwards.. a bit more code, but it might work.

Update:

Code:

RegExp('(^|[^[a-zA-Z0-9\'\"\S\w])' + word_to_replace + '(?=([^a-zA-Z]|$))', 'gi');

~ima `ima !ima @ima #ima $ima %ima ^ima &ima *ima (ima )ima -ima _ima +ima =ima

Wait, what? Is there a separate word filter from the admin word filter that I have personal and singular control over? Because the word filter that I have in place via the phpBB software doesn't have "ima" in it.

Sorry Syd, I'll explain.

A few weeks ago this thread popped up:
http://www.sydlexia.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=17493

As a joke I set a javascript parser to cross out and red bold the corrections to all of the infractions in that thread. For better or for worse, I had thought I set a thread restriction to the parser. I realized today when this thread popped up that it was live on the rest of the forums.

At this point we can do any of the following:
1. Turn it off (it doesn't actually modify the content of the post, so no posts have been altered)
2. Turn it off except in the thread I intended for it to be in (fix the mistake) Edit: Until I hear from Syd, I fixed the code to make sure this only exists as a joke in the thread it was intended to be in.
3. Keep it on as is
4. Build on what exists and create a file that offers some toggle control (essentially make it more of an actual tool than a joke)

Whatever you like.

If you are interested this is how it works. A JS file calls the following functions

Code:

syd_page_content_mod(ORIGINAL_TEXT,REPLACEMENT_TEXT);

Code:

syd_page_content_mod("pwease", "please"); syd_page_content_mod("prolly", "probably"); syd_page_content_mod("adleast", "at least"); syd_page_content_mod("sammich", "sandwich"); syd_page_content_mod("ima", "I am going to"); syd_page_content_mod("Carson Daly is not a homo", "Carson Daly is definitely a homo");

This is the actual code that drives the replacement:

Code:

function syd_page_content_mod(word_to_replace, replacement_text) {    var text_to_search = $('#thread_table').html();    //var pattern = RegExp('(^||\w)' + word_to_replace + '(?=([^a-zA-Z]|$))', 'gi');    pattern = RegExp('(^|[^[a-zA-Z0-9\'\"\S\w])' + word_to_replace + '(?=([^a-zA-Z]|$))', 'gi');    var search_error = text_to_search.search(pattern);    if(search_error != -1) {       text_to_search = text_to_search.replace(pattern, " <s><span style='color:white;'>" + word_to_replace + "</span></s> <span style='color:red;font-weight:bold;'>" + replacement_text + "</span>");       $('#thread_table').html(text_to_search);    }    search_error = "";    pattern = ""; }
