Io.read() help

I'm trying to figure out a way to make seperate variables from one io.read(). Here is an example of what I want it to produce.
User input: Hello world
Var1: Hello
Var2: World

Is this possible? if so, what code is needed?

Thanks!

Morgan

I'm still very new to Lua, So, could you help me with the specifics of what I'm looking for?

The section on splitting strings, specifically. You'll also want to read up on tables if you're not already familiar with them.

I'll spoon feed you.

local words = {};
io.write("Enter Stuff: ");
local r = io.read()
for i in string.gmatch(r,"[^ ^]+") do
table.insert(words, i)
end
for i,v in pairs(words) do
print(v)
end
