[HELP] Reading numbers before text

[..:D&G:..]

Hello guys, I need a bit of help with reading a number (0.00) before a text (0.00 Text) At the moment my script reads the numbers after a text, like this: (text 0.00) using this code:

guiGridListGetItemText(shopItemsList, row, 2):sub(6) 

Is there a :sub kinda things that does the revers? To read the numbers from right to left?

Thank you.

If the text is always gonna be in that format (0.00 Text) then it's easy using sub:

guiGridListGetItemText(shopItemsList, row, 2):sub(1, 4)

And what if sometimes it is in the format (00.00 Text)?

Then you need a pattern to do the work for you, a simple one like this might do:

guiGridListGetItemText(shopItemsList, row, 2):match("%d+.%d+") 

It will extract the number whether it's "Text 00.00", "00.00 Text". Also the amount of digits won't matter.

It worked, thanks a lot
