Gsubbing multiple strings. (a lua only question)

Post by rokit boy »

I need help, lets say I have a string...

Code: Select all

str = "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyzabcerasfdasgwrugherwiuogwabced"
and I wanna change all the a's,b's,c's,d's and e's to 1. How can I do that using gsub?

It only works if I put it in this order. Any help?
