How would I print the first 5 characters of a string in LUA? I've been poring over the http://www.lua.org/pil stuff for a while now and cant come up with it. I KNOW I've done it before, but I'm on my first cup of coffee.

Any clues or hints would be appreciated!!!

Best,
Mario

[UPDATE] Solved!!

print(string.sub(tempString,1,15)) -- Will print the first part of 'tempString' from 1 to the 15th character.

Stupid strings!! BLAH!

Thank for sharing!
