09:54 TenPlus1 Hi folks...
09:55 TenPlus1 can anyone help me with string functions in lua ? the strsub and strlen dont seem to wanna work in my mod
10:36 TenPlus1 no-one ???
10:44 CiaranG  TenPlus1: You might need to be more specific. Lua string functions do work ;)
10:45 TenPlus1 Hi CiaranG...  I'm trying to get the length of a string then cut the string into separate strings
10:45 CiaranG  You mean string.sub and string.len though, right?
10:46 TenPlus1 I tried using LUA's own strsub and strlen first, then moved to string.sub and string.len but it's giving me nil values in the length
10:47 TenPlus1 local numb = string.sub(node, string.len(node), 1)   <-- grabbing a number at the end of the string
10:49 CiaranG  Where is 'node' coming from?
10:49 CiaranG  i.e. are you sure it's a string?
10:49 TenPlus1 I'm running an abm     action = function(pos, node)      node is definitely a string value
10:50 TenPlus1 it's finding a block with a number at the end... I need th cut out the block name and the number as a value
10:51 CiaranG  It's definitely not a string then
10:51 CiaranG  It's a table
10:51 CiaranG  You want node.name
10:51 TenPlus1 oh crap, totally forgot about that...
10:51 TenPlus1 thanks so much dude...
10:52 CiaranG  No worries
10:52 TenPlus1 always the tables that get me :P
10:53 TenPlus1 thx again and bye :)
