luaHow to split string

Let's split a string by space:

str = "green yellow blue"
words = {}

for w in string.gmatch(str, "[^ ]+") do
   table.insert(words, w)
endctrl + cgithub

`str =` sample string to split	`words` this array will container list of words
`string.gmatch` finds all matches by a given regex	`for w in` iterate through all matches items
`"[^ ]+"` match all symbols except space (thus, we're going to split by space here)	`table.insert(words, w)` append found match (word) to `words` array

str = "green yellow blue"
words = {}

for w in string.gmatch(str, "[^ ]+") do
   table.insert(words, w)
end

print(table.concat(words, ', '))

green, yellow, blue
