Is there a simple solution to reversing text?

Example using the alias "backsay":
>backsay "this is a test"

would come out as: Player says, "tset a si siht"

I've been reading and searching for a method, but I haven't seen one yet. Thanks in advance.

If you are using VBScript, you can do something like this


Dim test
test = StrReverse("this is a test")

So, to put that into a ready-to-use alias:


<aliases>
  <alias
   match="backsay *"
   enabled="y"
   send_to="12"
   sequence="100"
  >
  <send>Send "say " &amp; StrReverse ("%1")</send>
  </alias>
</aliases>

Example



backsay hi there

You say 'ereht ih'

I received this error when I attempted to paste the alias.

Line 8: No closing ";" in XML entity argument "&" (problem in this file)

What's that mean?

Sorry, I should have had & rather than &.

I have fixed the post above, try again with the correction.
