- Thu Apr 30, 2015 2:41 am #16063 I read through "http://www.lua.org/manual/5.2/manual.html#6.4.1" to make the below example work, but any change I made made it worse, can someone make a suggestion?

vars = "mail=john.do@mail.com&mess=wait%21"
local _GET = {}
for k, v in string.gmatch(vars, "(%w+)=(%w+)&*") do
_GET[k] = v
end
v returns: but I want:
john john.do
wait wait!

Thanks a lot,
Luc

- Thu Apr 30, 2015 2:45 am #16064 the result was somehow a bit reformatted and becoming unreadable after submitting:
v returns: but I want:
john john.do
wait wait!

I meant:
v returns:
john
wait

I want:
john.do
wait!

Thanks

Please re-read the doc:

%w: represents all alphanumeric characters.

"." and "!" are not alphanumeric.

Look at the set example.

Hope that helps,
Carsten

- Thu Apr 30, 2015 7:32 am #16090 I understand %w doen't work, but as I pointed out, I made various changes (e.g %g) as per the lua document, but nothing worked so far.
Any help is welcome.
