So I'm trying to make my own chat. I'm testing it by filtering the text inside a text box and printing the filtered result. When the result is printed all it says is "Instance". Here is the script

script.Parent.MouseButton1Click:Connect(function()
local TextService = game:GetService("TextService")
local success, errorMessage = pcall(function()
		local filteredTextResult = TextService:FilterStringAsync(script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text, script.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.Parent.UserId)

		print(filteredTextResult)
		
	
	end)
	
if not success then
	warn("Could not filter:", script.Parent.Parent.TextBox.Text, "because", errorMessage)
	
	end
	end)

Someone please help!

It prints instance because the function returns Instance, TextFilterResult, it has methods that can you get you what you need, one of them is shown in code here https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/api-reference/function/TextService/FilterStringAsync
