string question

[iPanda]

Is there a function in Lua, allowing division 1 string to several parts strings?

Example:

'example_string124' 
  
--division to strings: 
  
'example' and '_string' and '124' 

In the worst case, is it possible? And how do I do this?

You've got several options: (two given down below)

  
local example = "example_string124" 
local parts = split(example, "_") -- This splits the above string into: example and string124 and creates a table that contains both new strings 
for i,v in ipairs(parts) do 
    print(v) 
end 
-- 
local cut = example:sub(1, 5) -- This cuts the string until the 5th letter 
print(cut) -- examp
