For example, if the string was "Hello World", would I be able to search the string for the letter "e" and then store that "e" as a string on its own?
COMMUNITY QUESTION
How would I store a specific part of a string after finding it?
1 answer
let's say the string is "hello world" to store it, you can use this method
local StoreString = Instance.new("String Value")
StoreString.Name = "Store String" -- just an example
StoreString.Parent = workspace -- just an example
StoreString.Value = "Hello World"

string.sub
string.find might be of help to you.
actually string.match but that can work
string.find would get the location
yeah
I know, but I don't want it to return a location, I want it to return the single letter it found. I'll try match and sub, though not too familiar with them now.
string.match("Hello World", "e") will give you the location, then you can use the location with string.sub to get the lone letter as a value. After that, you can just store the lone letter into a variable.
