How do you split a string into multiple words?

Asked by

For example, ":speed iiKind 100", how would you split it into multiple words? Would you use string.sub()? string.find()? etc?

You can use string.gmatch() for it :

local str = ":speed iiKind 100"

for word in string.gmatch(str, "[^ ]+") do
    print(word)
end
