Simply cant use Open-Brackets ("[") on a string

[JEYzin_19342 (NullSystem)]

well as the tittle says, i cant use a Open-Bracket in String, but i really need it.

the question is, it has a way to get the expected result?

Ah and yea, a Close-Bracket is possible to use. (as the underline shows)

Try making “[” another variable, something like this (and run the code and see if it works)

local openBracket = "["
local startBracket = string.find(Dsc, openBracket)
local endBracket = string.find(Dsc, "]")

but i can solve it alone, thanks!

The reason it isn’t letting you do it is because [ is treated as a special character.

The way to put the special character into the string without the error occuring is the put an escape character (which is typically a backslash, however Roblox uses % for this) before the character.

i.e.

string.find(Dsc, "%[")

Using a seperate variable, as the other person suggested, does work but it’s just a bit clunky and unneccessary.
