How to string:find() not case sensitive

#1

I’m trying to make a chatbot, but I can’t do this because string:find() is case sensitive.
I tried

string.lower()

but it still doesn’t work.
Please help me.

What exactly have you tried? Lower does work, however it is near impossible to help you with your problem unless you post the full code that doesn’t work.

local Text = "The SomEthiNg tHing"
local TextToFilter = "Something"
Text = Text:lower()
TextToFilter = TextToFilter:lower()

local FoundAt = string.find(Text,TextToFilter)

if FoundAt then
  print("A text '",TextToFilter,"' found at ",FoundAt)
else
  print("Text '",TextToFilter,"' not found.")
end

It’s because TextToFilter variable starts with capitalized S.
That way, when you turn Text into lowercase it won’t match because something ~= Something.

To fix this, simply replace the capitalized S in TextToFilter to lowercase s, and it will work.

Oh yeah. I didn’t notice this, but calm down a little buddy. My bad. (thought that you’re the OP at first)

Where are you calling lower?
Have you tried something like this?

local textBox = script.Parent.Parent.TextBox;

...

elseif textBox.Text:lower():find("noob")
	and textBox.Text:lower():find("you")
then
	script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "Bot is typing..."
	wait(math.random(1,2.5))
	script.Parent.Parent.TextLabel.Text = "I'm not noob."
