string_gsub

[InfernalCookie]

I'm getting an error when I call a function saying "Bad argument #1 to string_gsub (string expected, got nil)" I don't understand what that means, help?

[lua]

function CheckTempBans( ply )
local id = string.Replace( ply:SteamID(), ":", "!" )
local filename = id .. ".txt"
local bans = file.Find( "tempbans/" .. filename )
if #bans >= 1 then
local data = file.Read( "tempbans/" .. filename )
local data = string.Explode( data, "/" )
local ostime = string.Explode( data[3], ":" )
local ostime = tonumber( ostime[2] )
print( os.time() .. "\t" .. ostime )
if os.time() >= ostime then
PardonPlayer( ply )
file.Delete( "tempbans/" .. id .. ".txt" )
else
local length = string.Explode( data[2], ":" )
local ostime = string.Explode( data[3], ":" )
local reason = string.Explode( data[4], ":" )
local admin = string.Explode( data[5], ":" )
local server = string.Explode( data[6], ":" )

local length = tonumber( length[2] )
local ostime = tonumber( ostime[2] )
local left = ostime - os.time()
KickPlayer( ply, server[2], length, left, reason[2], admin[2] )
end
end
end
[/lua]

Check everything you pass to string.Explode.
