I've been working on a function called "parse(_line)", but NOTHING I've done works.
Any suggestions?

I'm unsure of what you want, do you want a sentence separated into words?


local function parse( str )
  local t = {}
  for word in str:gmatch( "%S+" ) do
    t[ #t + 1 ] = word
  end
  return t
end
