GetChildren
GetChildren is one of many inherited members of the Instance base class (see here), which means you can call it on any ROBLOX object. This method will return a table (specifically, an array or list), of all the children inside the object you called it on. Here's an example:
local RepStorage = game:GetService("ReplicatedStorage") -- Get service
local RepStorageContents = RepStorage:GetChildren() -- Call GetChildren on service
-- Iterate through the contents GetChildren returned, printing out their individual names.
for k, v in pairs(RepStorageContents) do
print("Index:", k, "Object:", v)
end
If you're confused about anything, just leave a comment letting me know; I'll respond as soon as possible.

Is there a way that I could put each of the individual names into textboxes? Zrxiis 26 — 7y

Yes. The list contains all of the objects inside the object you called the method on. You can iterate this list like I have in my sample code, access these objects individually, and do whatever you like with them. ScriptGuider 5640 — 7y

local Tools = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
tools = {}
Tools.ChildAdded:connect(function(Child)
if Child:IsA("Tool") then
table.insert(tools, Child.Name)
print('Inserted tool name into table')
end
end)
NOTE Another script is required to use this.
wait(1)
local tool1 = game.TOOLPLACE
local tool2 = game.TOOLPLACE
wait(1)
tool1.Parent = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
tool2.Parent = game:GetService('ReplicatedStorage')
NOTE Do not put tools in replicated storage.
If this is not what you looked for sorry. And I know there is a easier way of doing this, this is my personal way to go.
