That would be a quite dirty implementation. I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to receive. Also note, that you can use wildcards from version 1.6 upwards.Oh I got it! I just check for every file in a directory, then I would store them in a table and restore them in another table with .app cut out, then when I check the file, i have for ex: awesomeName and I check.fs.exists(awesomeStoring..".app")

local all = fs.list("")
local result = {}
for k,v in pairs(all) do
if(string.find(v,"[%a%d]+%.app")) then
table.insert(result,v)
end
end
for that you can capture:How do you get the part after the point?

Thats what I wrote last post. The string in the example is "pacman.img" and the extension var should contain only "img", which is the rest of the string after the point. You could also sub it to make it split after each dot or comma or basically whatever you want.What pattern will alow you to find the part after a point in a string?

If you are on an older version, you could look up the implementation of fs.find in the mods zip archive.

local name, extension = string.match("pacman.test.img","(.*)%.(.*)")

Here's a better pattern:local name, extension = string.match("pacman.test.img","(.*)%.(.*)")
Do note however that string.match will return nil if there will be no dot in the file name.

a dot "." represents any character. The parenthethis define the captions(the stuff that match or find will return), the "%." in the middle will require an actual dot in the string, and the ".*" star says, that there can be any amount of any character in the caption, so there can be zero to infinite characters in front and after the dot, thats seperating themHere's a better pattern:local name, extension = string.match("pacman.test.img","(.*)%.(.*)")
Do note however that string.match will return nil if there will be no dot in the file name.
How does that pattern work?
