addEventHandler('onPlayerChat',root, 
    function(msg,msgtype) 
        if msgtype == 0 then 
            outputChatBox(getPlayerName(source)..": #e7dbad"..msg:gsub("%.",""),root,255,255,255,true) 
            cancelEvent() 
        end 
    end 
) 

local text = "abcd.efg.hi" 
  
string.gsub(text,"%.","") 
--> abcdefghi [string] 
  
text:gsub("%.","") 
--> abcdefghi [string]
