Would it be possible to filter out a certain word in a string of text?

[GameTester300889 (red_GameTester300889)]

I want to achieve a simple system where I have a table of words which I want to filter next up I want to search for these words in a string of text once found replace them with hashtags and then be able to print out the edited version of the text. I am not asking for anyone to create an entire system for me, I am asking if such a thing is possible and if so which function would I need to use or how would I be able to make this possible?

And yes, I do know I could filter the entire string using roblox’s textchatservice which I think already has a FilterString function, however let’s not lie to ourselves here we all know how the roblox chat filter system can sometimes just not work properly for example if you type a lot of numbers they get filtered.

look into string.gsub() might be what your looking for.

[DoorsPro_Bacon (Spawn)]

local filterTable = {"badword"} --replace with the words you want to filter

function filterString(str: string): string
	for _,f in filterTable do
		str = str:gsub(f,string.rep('#',f:len()))
	end
	return str
end
