How to turn this string into not-a-string?
Sorry for the bad title, didn't know how to explain properly. I basically have a string like this
astring = "100, 200, 300, 400"
and I want to make this not a string, just 100, 200, 300, 400 (I'm trying to use string.char but I need it to be a number not a string and tonumber errors for me) how would I do this? thanks!

Do you want to turn this into a number table? Zenith_Lord 93 — 6y

to be specific i'm creating a plugin and using string.gsub, string.char etc, i'm changing the sources of scripts and I need to be able to do string.char(100, 200, 300 ,400) instead of string.char(astring) which is "100, 200, 300 ,400" trecept 367 — 6y

I would probably use gmatch which uses a pattern to match. %d+ means any digit matched one or more times.
Example:-
local tmp = "100, 200, 300, 400"
for number in tmp:gmatch('%d+') do
print(number) -- can then convert tonumber ect
end
I hope this helps.

Using this website:
function split(str, pat)
local t = {}
local fpat = "(.-)" .. pat
local last_end = 1
local s, e, cap = str:find(fpat, 1)
while s do
if s ~= 1 or cap ~= "" then
table.insert(t,cap)
end
last_end = e+1
s, e, cap = str:find(fpat, last_end)
end
if last_end <= #str then
cap = str:sub(last_end)
table.insert(t, cap)
end
return t
end
parts = split("100, 200, 300, 400", '[, ]+')
print(table.concat(parts, " "))
Comment if you need clarification.
