How do I loop through chars in a string

local mystring = "hello"
local chars = { }
for i = 1, #mystring do
  chars[i] = mystring:sub(1, 1)
end

Haven't tested it, but something like this should do the job.

local mystring = "hello"
local chars = { }
for i = 1, #mystring do
  chars[i] = mystring:sub(1, 1)
end

local mystring = "hello"
local chars = { }
for i = 1, #mystring do
  chars[#chars + 1] = mystring:sub(i, i) --#1's here should of been i.
end

Mind you, chars was perfectly fine. Certainly better than pulling the length and adding one over and over.

Double-mind you, you may as well just leave the characters in the string and sub 'em out as needed. Is there any particular need to mirror them into a table?
