I am building a text chat system. I want to add the ability to check for banned words/phrases.
The only technique I can think of, and can’t believe it could possibly be the best approach is to do a FOR loop through all the words and search for matches in the text. This seems like it would be unbelievably slow once lots of words are added.
I’m using AS3, but an answer in most any language would probably be useful.
take care,
lee
use an AS3 dictionary or a dict in python and just check if the word is in the dict. there is no way I can see to not go over all the words.
