Go letter by letter in a string.

[Feche1320]

For example, on C I would do:

  
char test[24] 
test = "hello" 
print(test[4]) 

And if I'm not wrong that will print 'l'.

But on lua I tryed that, and seems not to work.

How can I do it?

Thanks

local test = "hello" 
print(test:sub(4, 4))

But what I need is:

  
test = "hello" 
outputChatBox(test[1]) -- h 
outputChatBox(test[2]) -- e 
outputChatBox(test[3]) -- l 
outputChatBox(test[4]) -- l 
outputChatBox(test[5]) -- o 

Hope you understand me.

Nevermind, got it, thanks!

local test = "hello" 
for i=1, #test do 
  outputChatBox(test:sub(i, i)) 
end

local test = "hello" 
for i=1, #test do 
  outputChatBox(test:sub(i, 1)) 
end

local test = "hello" 
for i=1, #test do 
  outputChatBox(test:sub(i, 1)) 
end 

second parameter here is not the amount of characters, it is ending position.

this way it'll output only "h" and nothing after it.

string.sub(s, i [, j])

s:sub(i [,j])

Return a substring of the string passed. The substring starts at i. If the third argument j is not given, the substring will end at the end of the string. If the third argument is given, the substring ends at and includes j.
