I need help again.

The description  says it. Is there any code for readin 1 letter off a whole line of letters.

Example,here is the C# one.

(<string>.Substring(<where to start reading>, <How many letters after that>)

Yup:

Code: [Select]
str = "My Name Is Jim"
print(str:sub(2,8))
print(string.sub(str, 2, 8))
Two ways to do it :)
Remember though, the first character is 1, not 0. (as in many other languages)
And, the second arg is the position where you want to stop.

Also, you could just post in the other topic. There is no need to create a new one just for this ;)

Thanks a lot. While your I'm at it. Do arrays exist in LUA?

You got tables.
Tables are like the most incredible thing ever :D
You can use them as arrays, dictionaries, anything. In fact, many stuff in Lua are based around tables.
Just check this out: http://lua-users.org/wiki/TablesTutorial.
