Invalid pattern capture

[lolcatsareawesome]

Hello,

I've an error by using string.gsub because I want to remplace a string by another one but the script think it's a pattern but I don't want a pattern string.

The string that I want to remplace is ")" to " ". With string.find per example, he have an argument for disable the pattern.

  
local theString = "lolcats)are)awesome"; 
local result = string.gsub(theString, ")", " "); 
outputChatBox(result) 
  

The error that I've is "Invalid pattern capture".

From lua website:

Some characters, called magic characters, have special meanings when used in a pattern. The magic characters are

( ) . % + - * ? [ ^ $

You can fix that by adding "%" in front of the "magic" character, like this:

local result = string.gsub(theString, "%)", " ");
