Converting string to array [Sloved]

[zalander]

Hey !
Im making some dumb thing... again welp
I ran into a problem
I need to convert a string to a array

Code: Select all

a = "This is a string :)"
b = {"T", "h", "i", "s"} --[[ you get the idea]]--

I need to get a single character in a single space
Every help is appreciated

Iterate over the length of string and extract substring for each position that you insert into a table.

Or:

Code: Select all

str:gsub(".",function(c) table.insert(t,c) end)

BTW, Stackoverflow is better place to search for generic lua answers.

You probably want to use utf8.charpattern instead "." to have it catch the ö in löve.
