Thanks, but I’m still getting the same error. I’m thinking that it has something to do with the percent characters…
This here works just fine:
\startluacode
function test(s)
result = string.gsub(s, 'x20', 'MATCH')
context(result)
end
\stopluacode
\define[1]\test{\ctxlua{test("#1")}}
\starttext
\test{asdfx20} % -> asdfMATCH
\stoptext
But this here won’t:
\startluacode
function test(s)
result = string.gsub(s, '%%20', 'MATCH')
context(result)
end
\stopluacode
\define[1]\test{\ctxlua{test("#1")}}
\starttext
\test{asdf%20} % -> does not work
\stoptext
Any ideas?
Best,
Denis

The first call returns the 1 giving the match, the extra ()'s get rid of that second return value.
