How do I convert a string into a table?

game.Players.PlayerAdded:Connect(function(Player)
    Player.Chatted:connect(function(msg)
        local msgs = string.gmatch(msg,"%S+")
        for i,v in pairs(msgs) do
            print(v)
        end
    end)
end)

When I do this, I get an error that msgs is a function.

Just simply remove `pairs`. ;3 TheeDeathCaster 2368 — 5y

Well, that and remove the 'i' also. EmilyBendsSpace 1025 — 5y

game:GetService("Players").PlayerAdded:Connect(function(player)
    player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg)
        local msgs = string.gmatch(msg,"%S+")
        for v in msgs do
            print(v)
        end
    end)
end)

Edited so that I don't get comments about the deprecated lowercase connect or accessing PlayerService by name.
