I am trying to figure out how to remove a word from string. I tried using string.sub but don't know what to do from there.

local String = "Buy Model"

if string.sub(String, 1, 4) == "Buy " then 
    --I know you can do String = string.sub(String, 5, 8) but there is multiple strings I want to remove "Buy " from
end

I found one way to do it:

local String = "Buy Model"

if string.sub(String, 1, 4) == "Buy " then 
    local stringLength = string.len(String)
    String = string.sub(String, 5, stringLength)
    print(String) -- prints 'Model'
end

He did mention that he knows the string subbing method. He is referring string.gsub("word", "") GetGlobals 343 — 5y
