Edit received message

Hi, I am learning and I have a problem. I can edit messages before sending them, but I don't know how to edit received messages before showing them to player, is it possible to do? Thanks! (sorry for my english)

What kind of messages? Chat messages from other players? Chat messages from NPCs? Mail messages? Data messages from addons? Something else?

You can use ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter() to modify incoming messages.

Lua Code:
  1. ChatFrame_AddMessageEventFilter("CHAT_MSG_GUILD",function(self,event,msg,...)
  2. --  Do something with message
  3.     return false,msg,...;-- True blocks the message from displaying, if changing any event args, we need to return all of them
  4. end);
