I'm making an admin script and I'm trying to remove part of a string using Gsub. This is how it's supposed to work: -Player Chats: 'kill a /all/ //extra args//' -:Gsub('/.-/',''):Gsub('//.-//','') What I want to come out: 'kill a' What comes out: 'kill a all extra args' What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advanced

do you just want to remove everything after the first "/" ?

if so i'd just recommend string:gsub("/", "\0")

Um not everything just everything inside the /'s including the /'s itself. But I'll try that! Thanks

in that case could you not use string:gsub("/.+/", "") or string:gsub("/.*/", "")
