Get a certain part of a string

FWCentral · July 2, 2012

Hey im trying to split a string into two parts the string will always have a space like this example:

"Data1 Data2"

How can i make it like this: local data1,data2 = Data1, Data2

i tried:

local data1, data2 = table.concat(thestring, ", ")

Found the answer: Use the Lua split function.

example:

local theString = "Data1 Data2" 
local data = split(theString, " ") 
--data[1] is now "Data1" and data[2] is "Data2"

local theString = "Data1 Data2" 
local data1, data2 = unpack(split(theString," "))

No, actually he already solved it before anyone had posted ( I didn't post because it was already solved ).
