help with string manipulation?
i dont focus that much on string manipulation, but I want to make a kick command though when i was testing around with string.sub it doesnt work for some reason:
game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
player.Chatted:Connect(function(message)
if message == string.sub(":kick ", 1, 6) then
print("lol")
end
end)
end)
im not asking for a script of a entire kick command, but i just want a idea of it

You should definitely use:
string.match(a1, a2)
This will definitely give you the results you need.
Example:
if string.match(message, ":kick ") then
print('Someone was kicked')
if game.Players:FindFirstChild(message:gsub(":kick ", '')) then
game.Players:FindFirstChild(message:gsub(":kick ", '')):Kick()
print(game.Players:FindFirstChild(message:gsub(":kick ", '')).Name..' was kicked')
end
end
Why?
If it does contain that message, then it returns true, if it doesn't- return false.
a1 = string/target
a2 = string to find in target

:gsub - arg1 = the message, arg2 = the text to look for inside of the message, arg3 the string to replace the text with SmartNode 383 — 5y
