Words in string

[Piorun]

Hi guys

Today i have a problem with words in string. So for ex i have string:

Hi my name is paul im 20 

and i want print only 3 words and after last add "..." like that:

Hi my name... 

How?

Do you mean you want to get a word in the sentence if it were in the middle or at the end?

string.find 
string.sub

I solve this with "split" function . You can lock this topic.

I would use the string library functions for that work, even though split works in this case.
