Is there a way to remove characters from a string after a specific character count

if I had a string that was 75 characters long for example would it be possible to cut that down to the first 50 characters via a script in any way, and if so, how?

You’d use string.format().

local info = "Hi! I like eating.. pizza!" -- (26 characters.)
info = string.format("%.18s", info)

print(info) -- Output: Hi! I like eating.

the specifier itself seems to be wrong but ill look into messing around with this

It is wrong. I forgot to put a “s” behind the “18.”
