You need to hook into PlayerSay and check if the first word they said is a chatcommand.

[lua]

-- UberMensch's Chat Command module thing
-- Free for use, but don't remove this text ;)

-- Set your chat prefix here.
local prefix = "/"

-- Don't touch these or the entire script breaks.
chatcommand = {}
chatcommand.Commands = {}

function chatcommand.Add( command, func )

chatcommand.Commands[prefix .. command] = func

end

function chatcommand.Remove( command )

chatcommand.Commands[prefix .. command] = nil

end

function chatcommand.PlayerSay( ply, text, teamchat )

-- Explode the text into a table.
local cmd = string.Explode( " ", text )

for K, V in pairs( chatcommand.Commands ) do

-- If the first entry in the table matches an existing command...
if( string.lower(cmd[1]) == K ) then

-- Strip the command out of the text.
local cmd = string.gsub( text, cmd[1] .. " ", "" )

-- Explode the remaining text into arguments.
local args = string.Explode( " ", cmd )

-- Run the function assigned to that command.
chatcommand.Commands[K]( ply, K, args )

-- Return false to prevent text being displayed.
return false

end

end

-- No chat command matched? Return all the text as normal.
return text

end
hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "chatcommand_PlayerSay", chatcommand.PlayerSay )
[/lua]

You can use that the same way as concommand.Add():

[lua]
function chatTesting( ply, cmd, args )

ply:ChatPrint( "You said " .. string.Implode( " ", args ) )

end
chatcommand.Add( "testing", chatTesting )
[/lua]

[Overv]

If you are uncertain where to put that file, it's best to learn basic Lua and file locations first.
