replace whitespaces in string with \ and replace \ in string with whitespace for example "hello there" to "hello\there" and vice versa I am terrible at string manipulation

> print( string.gsub("hello there", " ", "+") ) hello+there 1 it's adding a number onto the end of how many times it replaces it the wiki says it shouldn't do that

It's not adding it to the end, it's just the second return result. It's easily discard-able by not assigning it to anything
