Can you do string manipulation on a table?
I'm just trying to work out string.reverse, but it says attempted to index "string, a nil value"
This is what I have
local encryptThese = {}
function basicEncryption()
for i,v in pairs(game.Workspace:GetChildren()) do
if v.Parent == game.workspace then
print(v)
table.insert(encryptThese, v)
encryptThese.string.reverse()
end
end
end
basicEncryption()

You can also call it with `:` For example `local a = "ABCD" print(a:reverse())` prints `DCBA`. XAXA 1569 — 6y

string.reverse is used like this:
string.reverse("test") --> tset

No, but you can set them like this.
local atable = {'Hello', 'from', 'hiimgoodpack!'}
for i = 1, #atable do
atable[i] = string.reverse(atable[i])
end
This will turn the table keys from Hello from hiimgoodpack! to olleH morf !kcapdoogmiih I hope this helps you in the future!
