Apostraphe Identifier Help?

Asked by 10 years ago

I am making admin commands, and I am making a apostraphe identifier. It works but it skips the first one, any help?

function findrt(message, var)
skips = 0 
maxs = var
spaces = {}
apos = {}
lastn = {}
num = 0
last = 0
player = {}
other = {}
--Space Checks---
for i = 1, message:len() do
    wait()
    last = last+1
    if message:sub(i,i) == " "
        then
        num = num+1
        if num > skips and num < maxs+1
            then
        table.insert(spaces, #spaces+1,i+1)
        table.insert(lastn, #lastn+1,last)
        last = 0
    end
    end
end

print("Checking "..#spaces.." Spaces")
for i = 1, #spaces do
    subs = message:sub(spaces[i],lastn[i]+spaces[i])
    local check = true
    print(subs)
--Most likely where to problem is
    local last2 = 0
    if string.find(subs,",") ~= nil
        then
        print("Found Apos", string.find(subs,","))
        for i = 1, subs:len() do
            local last2 = last2+1
            if subs:sub(i,i) == ","
                then
                newsub = subs:sub(i+1,last2+i)
                print(newsub)
                table.insert(apos,#apos+1,newsub)
                last2 = 0
            end
        end
        check = false
        end
    if check == true
        then
    print("Checking")
    a = game.Players:GetChildren()
    for b = 1, #a do
        if string.find(string.lower(a[b].Name), string.lower(subs)) ~= nil
            then
            if i == 1
                then
            table.insert(player,#player+1, a[b])
            break
            end
            if i > 1
                then
            table.insert(other,#other+1, a[b])
            break
        end
        end
    end
    end
end

if other ~= nil
    then
    return player, other
else if other == nil
    then
    return player
end
end
end

players = findrt(";kill a,b,c", 1)
for i = 1, #players do
    print(players[i])
end

the out put for this is a,b,c b c

Move your then keywords to the same line as their if counterparts, first of all, just so it's easier to read. I can't tell what's doing what, when because of your formatting. Tkdriverx 514 — 10y

It's better than no tabbing at all, that's much harder to read. You really should make ALL of the tabbing  correct, though. Perci1 4988 — 10y
