New outputChatBox at every point

[Gordon_G]

Hello guys, 

I want to do a new outputChatBox for every points in my string :

Exemple :

text = "I like potatoes. I like salad too."

-- output in game :  I like potatoes.
-- output in game :  I like salad too.

Is it possible ? Thanks !

local example = "an example string . an other ."
sentences_ = {}
sentence = ""
for i in string.gmatch(example, "%S+") do -- This string.gmatch cut the string at every word
   sentence = sentence.." "..i
   if i == "." then -- Cut the string at the point and insert it into a table
   table.insert(sentences_,sentence)
   sentence = ""
   end
end


for k,v in ipairs(sentences_) do
print(v)
end

I did it myself with the help of : http://lua-users.org/wiki/SplitJoin

But it's not really optimized, any other way ?

 

Edit : Sorry for the double post, I can't edit anymore the firt.

This is similar to what you tried but probably better than making the function yourself.
