Lua Text parsing/detecting.

[MappingFOR]

Hello. Im making commands system, and i need help.
How to detect text in lua?

Somethink like preg_match() and explode() in PHP

local text = "add_experience(100,50)"
I have to detect that is add_experience function, and take all values as text[0] = 100, text[1] = 50.

if(?) then
split text for 100 and 50.
end

Do you mean string.explode?

example talkaction - storage.lua

function onSay(cid, words, param)
	local t = string.explode(param, ",")
	if(not t[2]) then
		doPlayerSendTextMessage(cid, MESSAGE_STATUS_CONSOLE_BLUE, "Invalid param specified.")
		return true
	end

	local tid = getPlayerByNameWildcard(t[1])
......

is this a talkaction? such as..

!admin add_experience, Name, 50000

If so, using string explode can break the string up into a table. Then check for example 'if params[1] == "add_experience" then'. You can use other string functions for pattern matching or string searches if you want lua-users wiki: String Library Tutorial
