Advice

I'm not yet very familiar with the patterns in Lua's string.gsub function.

If I have a string like this:

Fishing Lure(+100 Fishing Skill)(1 hour)

and I want extract only the string "1 hour", what pattern should I use?

What are your exact requirements for the resulting string, e.g. do you want the second bracketed value? or all bracketed values?

local s = "Fishing Lure(+100 Fishing Skill)(1 hour)"

local x = s:match(".+%((.-)%)$")
print(x)

local y = s:gsub(".+%((.-)%)$","%1")
print(y)
