Text Detector Output GUI

I want to make a GUI called output that spits out a certain line of words when it detects certain words being typed into a textbox GUI. How would I do this?

Something like this should work:

local myTextBox = script.Parent
local stringToFind = 'string'

myTextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Text'):Connect(function() -- listens for the 'text' property to change.
    if string.find(myTextBox.Text, stringToFind) then -- if the string is contained within your query
        print('Found the string!')
    end
end)

If you wanted an array of strings, you could do something like this:

local myStrings = {'string', 'epic string', 'even epicer string'}

myTextBox:GetPropertyChangedSignal('Text'):Connect(function() -- listens for the 'text' property to change.
    for index,stringToFind in pairs(myStrings) do -- iterates through each string in the array above
        if string.find(myTextBox.Text, stringToFind) then -- if the string is contained within your query
            print('Found the string!')
        end
    end
end)

This doesn’t print the code out into another textlabel, though. I’m looking for something that does that, otherwise this would work. Thanks.

Oh, alright. Just add this:

local myTextLabel = script.Parent -- wherever your textlabel is

Add this below the print/replace the print with it:

myTextLabel.Text = 'whatever you want the string to be'

Is there anyway I could make the string print out whatever the player types in?

Yeah, for sure. Just add `print(myTextBox.Text) right after this line:
