I'm trying to make an admin commands script, but it does not work with the concat.
thanks!
01 | local function Split(String) |
02 | local Table = {} |
03 | for I = 1, #String do |
04 | table.insert(Table, string.sub(String, I, I)) |
05 | end |
06 | return Table |
07 | end |
08 | local player = game.Players.LocalPlayer |
09 | player.Chatted:Connect(function(msg) |
10 | if msg:find("!print") then |
11 | local memes = msg |
12 | print(memes) |
13 | local memes = Split(msg) |
14 | table.remove(memes, 1) |
15 | table.remove(memes, 1) |

You're splitting the command into individual chars.
A better way would be to do something like string.match(YOUR_STRING, "%a+") (for letters only) or you could "%s+" to get whitespace and split it that way.
A list of all the string patterns can be found here: https://developer.roblox.com/en-us/articles/string-patterns-reference
EDIT: "%w+" is for alphanumeric characters, perfect for commands.
