Need Help On Message Coder
I Made A First Version That Works Fine But The Script Is Huge, It Didn't Recognize Lower Case And Upper Case As Different, It Didn't Have Any Punctuation, It Could Recognize Spaces But They Kept The Word Lengths The Same (It's Not Really Coding). It Also Coded Through A 'Key' Word To Make The Coded Message Unique.
I Then Decided To Make A Second Version To Correct All Of The Above And To Make The Key Except Any Characters But It Hasn't Worked. I Haven't Been Able To Fix It. I Have Changed The Code 3 or 4 Times Now And So I Really Need Some Help.
Thanks

There's a Scratch Wiki tutorial about case-sensing if you want.
What, you couldn't even give them a link? Sheesh...

I'm so un-used to giving a link without the URL tags (which this account can't use due to a glitch), that I honestly didn't think of that! O.o

Glitch? I thought New Scratchers just couldn't use the url tag.

Thanks sci_test and Harakou
I Am Using The List Contains Method.
Uppercase And Lowercase Works It's Just That When It Is Being Coded Or Decoded Something Happens That Makes It Mess Up.
I Think It May Be To Do With The Key?

New Scratchers can link in scratch.mit.edu, but not anything like info.scratch... suggest.scratch... wiki.scratch...

What exactly messes up? There are a lot of things that could go wrong, like an item being missing or added, which could throw the entire key/message out of line.

Yes.
It would help if you uploaded what you have. :3

Re: Need Help On Message Coder
I Did Upload My Project I Think...
Project Not Latest Version But All Of Them Don't Work So It Doesn't Matter:
http://scratch.mit.edu/projects/dancet8m2/1917248
I Can't Upload A Different Project At The Moment Because Computer And Internet Won't Allow It.
I Still Think The Key Is The Problem, I Will Check Now.
Edit: Spaces And Special Characters Aren't Working Like They Are Supposed To,
I Will Check If It Is Key Or Message.
Edit: It Is Weird Now, I Typed In The Same Message And Key And They Come Out With Seperate Answers. I Will Try To Create Maybe A Script To Check If It Is Correct Or Not. And Also The Problem Could Be In The Coder, And If The Coder Is WWrong So Is The Decoder.
