Hello,

 

I wonder if anyone could help.

 

What script do I require for the following example.

 

when[space]key_pressed script that will take a word from the user and display a new word that is the same as the original except that each letter in the middle of the alphabet (j to q inclusive) has been replaced by a question mark (?).

The user should input the word as a single string and the new word that is displayed should be a single string.

For example, if the user enters

‘elephant’

then

‘e?e?ha?t’

is displayed.

 

Any help would be appreciated.

My advice: Don't do string manipulation in Scratch https://en.scratch-wiki.info/wiki/Replacing_a_Character_in_a_String.

 

It would be about 3 lines of Python
