string.find() question

[Lev <leventelist@...>]

Hi all,


I have some issues with string.find().

What do I miss?


$ lua5.3
Lua 5.3.3  Copyright (C) 1994-2016 Lua.org, PUC-Rio
> str='--d8eb6ad5-707f-4518-8de9-0a339383199b--'
> return string.find(str, '--d8eb6ad5-707f')
nil
> return string.find(str, '--d8eb6ad5-')
1	9
> return string.find(str, '--d8eb6ad5-7')
nil
> 

I've tried that with 5.1, 5.2 and 5.3. All on Debian Stable, and also with 5.1 on some embedded platform on LEDE 17.01.1. Same result.


Any help welcome.


Thanks,
Levente
