How to split string by ","?

Is there a way to split a string easily by the ","?
for example "apple,hedgehog" returns
split[1] = apple
split[2] = hedgehog

since i didnt find string.split() here

Sorry, I didn't fully understand. Want to split 2 separate strings separately? Or do you want to separate the two strings with a comma?

If you want separate a string to 2 other strings using a delimiter character this should work :

line = "one, two, three!"

for word in string.gmatch(line, "[^,]+") do
   print(word)
end

Samir It worked, thank you!
