[HELP] Combobox and splitting problem

[..:D&G:..]

Hello guys, I am trying to make a currency exchange window. You select the currency from a combobox, which is like this: "Dollars - USD" and I use this to split the "Dollars" (name) from the "USD" (initial):

local listFrom = guiComboBoxGetSelected(currencyListFrom) 
            local textFrom = guiComboBoxGetItemText(currencyListFrom, listFrom) 
            local splittedNameFrom = split ( tostring ( textFrom ), " - " ) 
            local currencyNameFrom = tostring ( splittedNameFrom [ 1 ] ) 
            local currencyInitialsFrom = tonumber ( splittedNameFrom [ 2 ] ) 

The problem is that if I try to output "currencyInitialsFrom" into outputChatBox it gets nil, any ideas why?

Thanks.

Are you sure textFrom is returning the proper text?

I tested this in runcode:

crun outputChatBox(   split("Dollars - USD"," - ")[1]   ) outputChatBox(   split("Dollars - USD"," - ")[2]   ) 

And it works properly,

so i really think it's textForm (guiComboBoxGetItemText) causing the issue.

It looks like it outputs nil here:

local currencyInitialsTo = tonumber ( splittedNameTo [ 2 ] ) 

But I don't know why

In the picture, you tried without spaces so try without spaces.

What spaces? I see that he used the spaces between the text and - ...

Try to output textFrom and see if it outputs the value you are waiting for ?

Fixed! It was because I made it to be a "tonumber" instead of "tostring"
