input a word and replace its letters as output

[way1000]

i'm trying to create a program that let's the user type a word in an input field (gui) and when a button is pressed the letters of the word are replaced by 1 word each from a list of words in a text file

i created the gui for it but i need help to add some more code to make it work like intented

each letter of a word should be replaced by a word from a text file
the text file is a source for replacing letters is a file with 2 columns separated by tab that contains the entire alphabet (26 rows)

 

please help if possible

#include <ButtonConstants.au3>
#include <EditConstants.au3>
#include <GUIConstantsEx.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$Form1 = GUICreate("Form1", 393, 281, 513, 142)
$Input1 = GUICtrlCreateInput("word", 16, 16, 361, 21)
GUICtrlCreateEdit("", 16, 48, 361, 177)
$Button1 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Replace", 16, 240, 75, 25)
$Button2 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Save", 96, 240, 75, 25)
$Button3 = GUICtrlCreateButton("Close", 176, 240, 75, 25)
GUISetState(@SW_SHOW)

While 1
    $nMsg = GUIGetMsg()
    Switch $nMsg
        Case $GUI_EVENT_CLOSE
            Exit

    EndSwitch
WEnd

way1000,

One way to proceed would be to have an ini file where each letter key has an associated word value. You could then read the input (GUICtrlRead), parse the content (StringSplit or StringMid), determine the associated words (IniRead), and then add the words to the edit (GUICtrlSetData). Why not try to code something yourself along those lines - you know where we are if you run into problems.
