How can I separate stringValues?

Hello,

I am wondering how I can separate stringValues?

If I have a stringValue that has: "100 | Title | Views" All separated with a | is there a way I can make an array separating each of the bits of text between the "|"?

And also, how do I access different parts of an array?

Thanks, Ethan!

code:

local raw = "100 | Title | Views"
local data = {}

for word in string.gmatch(raw, '([^ | ]+)') do -- looks for a pattern in the string
    table.insert(data, word) --add the separated version to data
end

--we can see if this worked by unpacking it
print(unpack(data)) 

output: 100 Title Views
