[HELP] Case sensitive table

[Bilal135]

So, if I derive values from a certain table and use those values to do something, they will always be case sensitive. How can I remove that? I don't want the values of the table to be case sensitive,

For example,

local values = {"Hi", "Hello", "Hey"}

And if I detect if a player said one of these in chat by looping through them, it will work but only if the player typed the first letter capital.

addEventHandler("onPlayerChat", root, function(message, messageType)
    if not messageType == 0 then
        return
    end
    for _, msg in pairs(values) do
        if message == msg then
            outputChatBox("Console: Hey!", source, 255, 100, 100)
        else
            return
        end
    end
end)

I heard string.gsub can do this but I'm not sure how to use that. Any help regarding this would be appreciated.

I don't know how you can use string.gsub but you could just do your table all in lower case

From

local values = {"Hi", "Hello", "Hey"}

To

local values = {"hi", "hello", "hey"}

And use 

string.lower( string )

In order to set the player's input in lower case
