Parse output buffer

[Dest]

I am trying to parse the user's output, and replace it with something else. Example in an AIM window:

-User types:

Hello!

-User presses enter

-Autoit replaces Hello with:

I just said: Hello!

-Autoit erases Hello! from the chatbox, sends new formatted text (I just said: Hello!), and presses enter for the user

First of all, is it possible to block keys? Such as it would block AIM from getting the "enter key", except if it send the enter command itself?

Second, how would you make a function to parse all key calls? Then only way I can think of is registering every key seperateley (A-Z,0-9), which would be a hassle.

Third, is there a "null" terminator, so if you set buffer[0] as null, the rest of buffer would be cleared also?

Example code:

Global buffer[1024]
Global storecount = 0
HotKeySet(ALL, parseInput)

Func parseInput(key)
    Global buffer[1024]
    If key <> ENTER Then
         storecount = storecount + 1
         buffer[storecount] = key
    Else
         storecount = 0
         Send("^a")
         Send("{BACKSPACE}")         
         Send("I just said: " & buffer)
         Send("{ENTER}")
     Endif
EndFunc

I looked a little closer at the HotSetKey command and saw that it always blocks most keys, so nevermind about question number one.

2nd question you won't find a straight up answer to if at all, it stems on the "keylogger" events.

3rd question is maybe take a look at ReDim if I'm understanding what your question is.
