Replacing characters in a string with other characters?
So, I have a string in the format FirstName_LastName. I want to replace the "_" with a space. I've been working on this for a while, nothing seems to work properly. I could send you everything I tried, but I don't see a purpose in that. You guys got any ideas?

You can easily do this with string.gsub. For example, we can do
local name = 'Player_1'
local function tuis(txt) --turn underscore into space
local s, _ = string.gsub(txt, '_', ' ')
return s
end
print(tuis(name))
However, people's usernames cannot have underscores in ROBLOX
Hope this helps!
