Why not just use an array such as
array("[s]mouth.gif[/s]", ":D", "[s]frown.gif[/s]", ":(",) etc then loop through it:
if (word == array[loop_counter]) {word = array[loop_counter+1]}

My parsed string does work. It does replace the [s]mouth.gif[/s] by mouth.gif. What I am trying to do though if to have [s]mouth.gif[/s] replaced by ":D", [s]tongue.gif[/s] replaced by ":P" and so on for the 20 or so smileys. So I'm trying to figure out a way to have the .replace() return the value from an array or something similar, but nothing has worked so far, and I'm trying to stay away from having to replace them all by hand.

Have you tried to alert your 'parsedString' to see what it returns,
It is posible that your replace string is escaping the : character ?!

Good evening,
I'm rather puzzled by something I've encountered while playing with the string.replace() regex function in JavaScript.
I have a string that contains text like this:
var string = "this is some text [s]mouth.gif[/s] and some more text [s]tongue.gif[/s]";
Where "[s]mouth.gif[/s]" and "[s]tongue.gif[/s]" refers to smiley images.
I'm trying to replace theses with their corresponding ASCII, such as ":D" and ":P".
Using string.replace(), I got this regular expression that spot the [s] tags and parse the content.
var parsedString = string.replace(/\[s\]([a-zA-Z0-9_\.]+)+\[\/s\]/gi, "$1");
However, I'm trying to get that $1 value and use it as an array index where I can store all corresponding ASCII values relative to filenames.
I've tried a few, but yet unsuccesful, solutions.
Anyone here has an idea on how to make this work?
