Print a string value from its character position

[Flaadli]

is there a possible way to print the string value from the position I want to call?
for example the script reads the value from a string bool value.

the String is special to the user for configuration and reading,
here is the example of my string format: 00-007-000

is there a way to read/print the digit 7 from the bool value?
I’ve tried multiple solutions but they aren’t what I’m looking for.

Use string.sub

For example, the 7 is the 6th position of the string, so use string.sub("00-007-000",6,6)]

I also made a topic like this back in January when I was still learning how to script:

How to find a specific letter of a string

I was wondering if there was a way to find a specific letter of a string. I tried doing research on it, but I never found what I was looking for. Here’s an example: let’s say you have a sting named “hello”. local word = "Hello" How would I make a script that returns the second letter of “Hello”? (It would return “e”) I would really appreciate it if someone showed me how to do this.

works, thanks for the solution.
