How to search for a space in chat?
This is for an admin script. How do I have it search for the second space? So like ``;;setHealth [Player] [newHealth]" I cant figure out how to have the script 'know' what part is the name and what part is the value that the health will be set to

String patterns are just what you need. I recommend splitting the string after the signal character(s) (in your case, the ";;") into a command and argument.
01 | local SignalCharacters = ";;" |
02 | local Message = ";;setHealth Username 100" |
03 |
04 | function HandleMessage(Message) |
05 | if Message:sub(1, #SignalCharacters) ~= SignalCharacters then |
06 | -- Return early if message isn't a command |
07 | return |
08 | end |
09 |
10 | local CommandSubstring = Message:sub(#SignalCharacters + 1) |
11 |
12 | local Command = nil |
13 | local Arguments = {} |
14 |
15 | for Match in CommandSubstring:gmatch("%w+") do |

I recommend you check out the Wiki article I linked so you'd understand a little more! %w is the word character class, which will match an alphanumeric character, and the + quantifier matches 1 or more of the previous specifier. Avigant 2374 — 6y
