How do you make a sub of a substring? (Please answer!)
The question/title may be weird, but it makes sense.
For example:
";speed mattangeles544444 100" -- speed will be : string.sub(1,7) -- mattangeles544444 will be: string.sub(8,18) -- 100** will be: string.sub(19,22)
If you understand, please answer, as I will be grateful.

I don’t know what you’re trying to ask, do you want the string.sub() of the results of a string.sub()? aredanks 117 — 4y

You can use string.match() with a capture pattern to retrieve the information from the command. For example, the command pattern might be the sequence of a semicolon, command name, player name, and numerical argument.
local testStr = ";speed mattangeles544444 100" local pattern = "^;(%w+)%s+([%w_]+)%s+(%d+)$" local command, player, arg = testStr:match(pattern)
