Soo I am trying to load a string of a paste bin url since I am trying to make a prototype of an anti-exploit and as to make it more secure and I have non-existing code because I don’t really know where to start.

All you would do is make a GET request to your raw paste.

Here is an example of a paste I posted, and the result in the console.

> print(game.HttpService:GetAsync("https://pastebin.com/raw/vArmU0Db"))
print("test pastebin")

Sorry about the bump, but how would I get it to print a string from a certain line…

Say if this was my Pastebin Raw file:

hello
hola
hi

and I wanted to print out the 3rd line on the list, how would I do this?

You can use string.gmatch, though it’s a rather hacky method and isn’t really flexible. I suppose there’s a much better way to directly get a line from the pastebin, then through some string pattern, though it would work for your scenario. Incapaz likely knows a direct method.

local line = 0
for str in string.gmatch(RawText, "%a+") do
	line = line + 1
	if line == 3 then
		return str
	end
end

Slight problem with this code, it doesn’t allow you to get integers…

Input (raw):

11 A
22 B
33 C
44 D
55 E

output (for each string, etc);

A
B
C
D
E

You should really look into string patterns.
"%a" accounts for an uppercase or lowercase letter, hence it doesn’t work for integers.

You’ll need to account for digits by using "%d+" and "%s" for spaces/ whitespace character. Combine them together and you get a string pattern accounting for integer, letter and spaces. The string pattern could be something like : "%d+[%a%s]+"– returns e.g 11 A. Please do your research, you have the resources there. Feel free to continue this via dm’s as I don’t want to derail the topic and because OP already has their solution.

So, im making some password or security gui. How would you get possible text inside of pastebin. For example in raw file there’s a three text/key like:

Pass1
Pass2
Pass3

and all of them will work when you input it will work, how?

If you want to get each line for possibilities try this

i rlly dont know what it means

Edit: i think its prob by the roblox lua updates which no longer work for all pastebins.
