Question

Need help parsing the numbers from this line in Lua.

58.21 -13.73 57 -1

I currently am at this: [1-9][0-9] which I know is not correct as it does not return the minus and does not handle the decimal.

Thanks,

Dave

Answer 1

s="58.21 -13.73 57 -1"
for w in s:gmatch("%S+") do print(w) end

This pattern extracts all words from a line, a word being a run of non-whitespace characters.
