Splitting some text to a table, how could I do it?
Hello! I'm trying to make a table that will contain nothing. I want to cut a piece of text, (that's not what I'm asking) and I want to split that string into a table. Example:
table = {}
split(table, text)
print(table)
-- prints: "t", "e", "x", "t"
Thank you so much for any little help!

I can think of two ways to do this.
First, you can just add each character to a table with a simple loop using string.sub.
local function Split(String)
local Table = {}
for I = 1, #String do
table.insert(Table, string.sub(String, I, I))
end
return Table
end
Split("Test") -- > {"T", "e", "s", "t"}
Alternatively you could use string.split.
string.split("Test", "") -- > {"T", "e", "s", "t"}
Good luck!
