For example - "I like apples and pie" how can I find "apples" and nothing else of the string?

✓ Accepted answer

local str = "Hello World!"

local match = string.match(str, "World!")
-- This would return either "World!" or nil.

local string = "I like apples and pie"
if string:find("apples") then
	--stuff
end

i hope this works
