bad argument #1 to string_gmatch

[theplayer232]

Why is it doing it?

this is what i get:

error in string.lua

[ERROR] lua/includes/extensions/string.lua:91: bad argument #1 to 'string_gmatch' (string excepted, got userdata)
1. string_gmatch - [C]:-1
2. Explode - lua/includes/extensions/string.lua
3. fn - lua/cwarn.lua:35
4. unknown - addons/ulib/lua/ulib/shared/hook:179

line 35 of cwarn.lua:
if (text == "!admincommands") then

i am trying to create chat commands with PlayerSay hooks.

Full Code where error appears:

function commands( text, ply )
if ( text == "!admincommands" ) then
PrintMessage(3, "!report  name  reason\n!warning  name  reason\n!rweapons  name  reason\n!giveweapon  weapon_name  player")
end
end

I believe this is what your looking for. Well with string.lower

hook.Add( "PlayerSay", "Killurself", function( ply, text, public )
	text = string.lower( text ) -- Make the chat message entirely lowercase
	if ( text == "!kill" ) then
		ply:Kill()
		return ""
	end
end )

Args are in the wrong order;
[B]replace with the following:[/B]

function commands( ply, text, is_team_chat )
    if ( text:lower() == "!admincommands" ) then -- lowercase the supplied text and check if it matches the expected chat command(s).
        PrintMessage(3, "!report  name  reason\n!warning  name  reason\n!rweapons  name  reason\n!giveweapon  weapon_name  player")
        -- return "" // removing the -- at the start of this line, will make it so that the supplied text(command) is not printed to chat, when sent the player executes the command.
    end
end
