Are you sure that will work, Ripepperoni?
There is only one underscore allowed, and it can't be at the beginning or end.

Bad news I guess for people matching names with only alphanumeric patterns.

Does it? Isn't '%a' only for a-z/A-Z?

"lolwat. `%a` matches underscore too."

No it matches letters and numbers, nothing else.

t = "abc_123"
print(t:match("%a+")) --> abc

O lol sorry. I was thinking of `%w`. `%a` only matches letters and numbers, but `%w` matches the other thing.

Think of those poor people who detect player enters by looping through players every wait() and matching names without _, because they add a _ to everything else which they store in Players.

It's bad enough they have to worry about using :GetChildren on Players.
