Hi, I just have a question, in scripting, what is a string and what is it used for? Can it be used for GUIs with textboxes?
Thanks.

Yes. A string is anything in quotes in a script. Like, "Hello", "123", "IRANOOBRAIG", like that. So it would be used in a TextBox for the Text.

Ohhh, ok. So if someone was typing in a textbox and then pushed the 'enter button', then it helps to process the text given in the input?

You will have to script the Enter key pressed

Tables:
A group of variables

exampletable = {"string", 12, workspace.Part}

print(exampletable[1])
>string
