Hi,
I did this interactively after I had the same behaviour
in my script.
Lua 5.1.4 Copyright (C) 1994-2008 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> a="find(test)"
> =string.find(a,"test")
6 9
> =string.find(a,"(" )
stdin:1: unfinished capture
stack traceback:
[C]: in function 'find'
stdin:1: in main chunk
[C]: ?
>
Why does string.find find the word "test" but not the "(" ?
Best regards,
mcc
