Suitable pattern

[Splawsh]

Hello all 

I want a Suitable pattern for get everything (word,letters,number,symbol,emoji,Letters of other languages) from input (gg.prompt)

for using in this code ::

input = gg.prompt({"input text"},nil,{'text'})

local str = input[1]

 str = str:gsub("a Pattern for here(ex:: %S*)",  
   {['hi'] = 'Hello',
     ['a'] = '9805',
      ['s'] = '2495',
       [':('] = '',
        [''] = ':D',
         ['9999'] = 'Error',
          ['5'] = '=]'})

   gg.alert("Repaced\n"..input[1].."\nto\n"..str)
   print(str)

for example if input = ("hi as 9999 5")

replacing to ("Hello 98052495 : D Error =]")

but ("%S*") is not a Suitable pattern   

 

I will be happy if you help me :))

if (a person hep me) then 
  print("Thanks U❤")
  os.exit()
end

No such pattern exists.

You need gsub in loop for each case. Escape each key as pattern, pass to gsub with replace value.
