Emoticon text parser

Hello,

how do I write a text parser that will detect many ":-)", "]:->"
strings so that they can be replaced with small icons a text
component? Can someone direct me to some classes which might be
useful? Pattern? Looks complicated... BTW there's no real pattern in
those codes as I also use custom codes for other symbols, e.g. (cig)
oder :cig:, haven't decided that yet...

TIA
Karsten
