I want to know how to get text form a particular part of a sentence this is what i mean. Hello (new text).
, in the brackets it says new text
and i want to find the text in the brackets and print only the text in the brackets.
With the (
and )
surrounding the text, you can use string.match:
str = "Hello (new text)"
print(str:match("%((.+)%)"))
%((.+)%)")
is a pattern that captures every character between the (
and )
.
