"Error: attempt to index local 'self' (a nil value)" in string.split function
Quick facts, I got this function from http://lua-users.org/wiki/SplitJoin at the very bottom, and am attempting to use it in the Corona SDK, though I doubt that's important.
function string:split(sSeparator, nMax, bRegexp)
assert(sSeparator ~= '')
assert(nMax == nil or nMax >= 1)
local aRecord = {}
if self:len() > 0 then
local bPlain = not bRegexp
nMax = nMax or -1
local nField=1 nStart=1
local nFirst,nLast = self:find(sSeparator, nStart, bPlain)
while nFirst and nMax ~= 0 do
aRecord[nField] = self:sub(nStart, nFirst-1)
nField = nField+1
nStart = nLast+1
nFirst,nLast = self:find(sSeparator, nStart, bPlain)
nMax = nMax-1
end
aRecord[nField] = self:sub(nStart)
end
return aRecord
end
The input: "1316982303 Searching server"
msglist = string.split(msg, ' ')
Gives me the error in the title. Any ideas? I'm fairly certain it's just the function is out of date.
Edit: lots more code Here's some more from the main.lua file:
multiplayer = pubnub.new({
publish_key = "demo",
subscribe_key = "demo",
secret_key = nil,
ssl = nil, -- ENABLE SSL?
origin = "pubsub.pubnub.com" -- PUBNUB CLOUD ORIGIN
})
multiplayer:subscribe({
channel = "MBPocketChange",
callback = function(msg)
-- MESSAGE RECEIVED!!!
print (msg)
msglist = string.split(msg, ' ')
local recipient = msglist[0] --Get the value
table.remove(msglist, 0) --Remove the value from the table.
local cmdarg = msglist[0]
table.remove(msglist, 0)
arglist = string.split(cmdarg, ',')
local command = arglist[0]
table.remove(arglist, 0)
argCount = 1
while #arglist > 0 do
argname = "arg" .. argCount
_G[argname] = arglist[0]
table.remove(arglist, 0)
argCount = argCount + 1
end

This error message happens if you run:
string.split(nil, ' ')
Double check your inputs to be sure you are really passing in a string.
Edit: in particular, msglist[0]
is not the first position in the array in Lua, Lua arrays start at 1.
As an aside, this function was written when the intention that you'd use the colon syntactic sugar, e.g.
msglist=msg:split(' ')
