Find if a certain segment of a string is in an object's name, then delete it, is what I want to do.



Basic stuff, I gotta learn up on my string manipulation.

gsub, but how?

depending on where it is...
local string = game.Workspace.String
if string.Value == object.Name then
string:remove()
end

local oldtext = "Hello world!"
local name = workspace.Hello.Name
local new = ''
local match = oldtext:match(name)
if match then
new = new..oldtext:sub(math.max(oldtext:find(name)) + 1,#oldtext)
print(new)
end




oldtext being the orignal text, and new being the modified version of oldtext. Should print just "world!".
