The string API is a default Lua 5.1 API as defined here. Please list any non-working functions below.
Non-Working Functions
I relaly couldn't ask for more from this article.
string.sub / string.find
Both string.sub and string.find work on their own, but calling string.find on a string returned by string.sub will return the index of the character in the original string, not the sub string you are referencing.
Example:
local testString = "This is a sample string"; local testSubString = string.sub(testString,5); local indexOfSample = string.find(testSubString,"sample");
indexOfSample is returned 11 instead of the expected 7
Concatenating a blank string onto the end of the string causes new memory to be allocated and works properly again
local testString = "This is a sample string"; local testSubString = string.sub(testString,5); local indexOfSample = string.find(testSubString.."","sample");
This is also a problem with using string.find on command line arguments, as this returns the index in the full command path instead of the specific argument.
