save string to variable from slash command?

currently my slash command looks like this, and what i want to happen is in comments/pseudocode

Code:

local function MyAddonCommands(msg, editbox)

    if msg == "test" then

        --str1 = everything written after "test" 

    end



SLASH_HELLOWORLD1, SLASH_HELLOWORLD2 = "/test1", "/test2"



SlashCmdList["HELLOWORLD"] = MyAddonCommands

so basically, if i type

/test1 test save this string

i want "save this string" to be saved to a variable

could someone help me out on how to do this?

figured it out

made a solution using concatenation of string

Code:

    str1 = string.sub(msg, 1, 3)

    if str1 == "msg" then

        len = string.len(msg)

        str2 = string.sub(msg,5,string.len(msg))

        print("Current message: ")

        print(str2)

    end

if i type /test1 msg ddddddd

it will save ddddddd
