How to make "if" for string value? How to release this script, to work it?

I want this:

local randomString = "Random"

if randomString = **string** then
print("Its a string!")
else
print("Its isn't a string!")
end

But how to release this script, to work it?

Using type() will help you here! Here's some code I put through lua and the results to help you out:

local f = 1
local sa = "1"
print(type("fsa"))
print(type(f..sa))
print(type(f))
print(type(sa))
print(type(function() print("foobar") end))

Output:

string
string
number
string
function

For example:

if(type("string") == "string") then
print("foo")
else
print("bar")
end

Output:

foo

If you need any help just ask! :D
