I'm writing a program and I need to process a string so that when a certain character is detected, then the character and the rest of the string after it is removed. For example:
s = somestring/somedelimiter.randomcharacters12345
If I use / as a delimiter, the only thing that should be kept is:
somestring
How would I accomplish this in LUA?

I *think* this will do it for you - untested…
local yourString = "somestring/somedelimiter.randomcharacters12345"
local s = yourString:sub(1, yourString:find("/") - 1)

Just tested it on the LUA interactive command line on my system. The code works fine. Thanks!
