No, it's case sensitive. If it isn't, I have many problems with replacing "stuff" with "icecream" in the sentence "I stuffed myself" a few years ago when people cared for censors.

I don't believe striReplace exists. Only strReplace exists last time I checked.

try something like this:

%search = "World";
%change = "Changed";

%pos = strpos(%chatMsg, %search);
%newMessage = getSubstr(%chatMsg, 0, %pos) @ %change @ getSubstr(%chatMsg, %pos + strlen(%search), strlen(%chatMsg) );

Of course it needs to actually check if it needs to be replaced.
And it needs to keep looping until there isn't, or else it'll just replace the first occurrence.

A problem is changing for case... same word, different case... Someone post the most efficient way to do a non-case-sensitive replace or else.
