Cases for a String [RESOLVED]

[LITHIA]

Hi,

It looks like im on a kinda post madness episode here, but I have a lot of questions for the program i am making.

Here's the situation.

When I receive some text from my client, it gets put into a string.

Now, I need some pretty hefty checking in the string. As the text is being written by a user, the server needs to be able to interprete what the user is trying to say to some degree.

Now, first of all i would need to know if you could do this with cases... could you give the same response to several different strings?

Because like "Hello" "Hiya" "Hey" " Hi" have all the same meaning, and i would like to give one response.

So could something like
Case "Hello" Or "Hiya" Or "Hey" Or "Hi"
work? Or how would i go about doing that? I have never used Cases before, and i am going from the examples here.

And also, after i have that sorted, there may be a bit more of a prob. The string isn't going to be EXACTLY one of those responses.

The user could have put a space before " Hello" like that, or after it, so doing a definite lookup won't help. The user might even say "Hello mate" instead, so i need it to recognize a single word within a sentence like this.

At later times, i will make it more advanced but i need help at this stage on just getting the fundamentals down.

So I'll really appreciate any insight on this, as i am kind of stuck of what to do to make it react like i want it.

Thanks very much!
