Hello I am trying to replace a specific text to "" and my code doesn't working. I just don't know why my code not working
b = 'Just testing.<script>window.location.replace("http://google.com");</script>'
print(b)
b = b:gsub('<script>window.location.replace("http://google.com");</script>', "")
print(b)
out 1: Just testing.window.location.replace("http://google.com");
out 2: Just testing.window.location.replace("http://google.com");
I tried b = string.gsub(b,'<script>window.location.replace("http://google.com");</script>',"") too but its doesn't worked either
I am working in FiveM
You need to escape ( and ), in a lua pattern they are recognized as special character. you can escape them using %
b = 'Just testing.<script>window.location.replace("http://google.com");</script>'
print(b)
b = b:gsub('<script>window.location.replace%("http://google.com"%);</script>', "")
print(b)
For more infomration on lua patter you can look at these resources:
