First off, get rid of the while loop, I don't think it's doing anything for you. add this right before your if statement to see what it's seeing. print(search) print(str:sub(1,#search)

local name = "caca50" local example = 'caca' if example:len()<=name:len() then if name:lower():sub(1,example:len())==example:lower() then print('good') else print('bad') end end Roblox.Forum.Scripters:1: bad argument #1 to 'intellect' (number expected, got nil)

local Names = {"yoda","waddup","ayo"} local LookingFor = "yo" for i,v in pairs(Names) do if v:match(LookingFor) then print(v) end end Are you looking for something like that?
