How can I split a string into 2 separate strings?
So pretty much, I need to know how to seperate stuff like this
table = {
users = {
"username:password"
}
}
and just from that, you can print like print('username is username") print('password is password')

For one you can make better data structure so you don't have to manipulate strings. There are multiple answers here but patterns are my favorite.
--gets as few characters as possible until colon, then the rest
--parentheses 'capture' matches to give to variables
local user,pass = str:match("(.-):(.+)")
print(user,pass)
