How do you get a character in a specific position in a string?

Hi, anphu04. There is a built in function called substring in Lua which allows you to get the specific character from a string

There are various ways to get a `substring

The First syntax is `string.sub("Text", startingCharacter, endingCharacter)

Here is an example of the First Syntax

String = "Yo Mama"
print(string.sub(String, 1, 4))

When you print the follow code, you would expect it to print Yo Ma however you see it print Yo M. Well thats because a space is also a character and reads it.

Now onto your question on getting a specific letter. The same rules apply. Except the number changes

the syntax is the same as the above string.sub("Text", startingNumber, endingNumber)

String = "Yo Mama"
print(string.sub(String, 4, 4))

This would result in printing the letter M of the following text. We put in the ending number as 4 because if we do not specify, the code automatically goes to the end of the word. Hence printing out Mama. Since we want it to stop at M we end with the same number. And that is how you manipulate string. Hope you understand. If not, ask question in the comments or look up on wiki linked below.
