How to get separate strings from one received string?

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
#21

Ok I understand where you are coming from but will the trello always return 3 strings?

#22

I don’t know why is the return nil. Like, I have tired print(v[1]) for example and it’s nil … When I print(i,v) I normally get all values in table

#23

Welp under the current constraints I am working with.

local RetString = {"SloveniaVideo,test,123"}
local SplitString = RetString:split(",")

local Gui = script.Rank:Clone()

for i,v in pairs(SplitString)do
	local TextLabel = Gui:FindFirstChild("Val"..i) or false
	if TextLabel then
		TextLabel.Text = v
	end	
end

Gui.Parent = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.ScrollingFrame
#24

I have this:

local RetString = valueSTR.Value
	local SplitString = RetString:split(",")
	
	for i,v in pairs(SplitString) do
		local gui = script.Rank:Clone()
		gui.Parent = script.Parent.SurfaceGui.ScrollingFrame
		gui.Val1.Text = v[1]
		gui.Val2.Text = v[2]
		gui.Val3.Text = v[3]
	end
#25

Ok I edited the previous code so it would work, I am not sure if the Gui you cloned will be cloned again but if so you should be able to run a loop to do so.

One more question. Like not important one.

What means or false which you put in variable for Val?

local TextLabel = Gui:FindFirstChild("Val"..i) or false

I am not sure how to explain it properly but here goes. Variables can be either true or false, if a variables finds an object lets say

local workspace = workspace

if the workspace was found the variable would hold the workspace instance and be true, if workspace isn’t found then or false just makes the variable false although if its not found I believe it returns nil. Its just a way for handling errors is what I would say.
