I remember seeing something on wiki where you could find the text length of a string, I don't remember it clearly, so here is an example of what I have
script.Parent.Text = "g"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "ge"
wait(1)
script.Parent.Text = "get"
----ETC.-------
We can get pieces of a string, called substrings using the sub method:
msg = "Hello there"
script.Parent.Text = msg:sub(1,5) -- get characters 1 to 5 (inclusive)
There are #msg characters in msg (# is a unary operator for string length as well as table length) so a loop could look like this:
for i = 1, #msg do
script.Parent.Text = msg:sub(1, i)
wait(1)
end

I would like to add that you can also use the len() method to get the LENgth of a string.
