I have been searching this for a while and haven't found an answer.

If I have a line in a stringlist, as the follwoing:
For example, the stringlist variable is named as "list", and this line is the fourth line in the stringlist:
Code:
12345 abc  --for example, this is the fourth line, which is list[3]


There is a "space" between "12345" and "abc", and I just want to get the first part of this line, which is "12345". What functions or methods should I use?

Thanks.

Code:
print(list[3]:match("[^%s]+"))

Look at Lua's string library for more information.

@ Penguin, I had read the LUA manual before making the post, but I was unsure about whether I could use string.match() function with list[3]. Now, I know the answer, Thank you. Smile
