I want the text to show in self-writing, like in Pokemon, Undertale, or any other game, but I have no idea of how to use the string functions to make it.
example:
texto = "hello"
"h"
"he"
"hel"
"hell"
"hello"
how can I do it?

You just need to make a slight adjustment. I would also recommend that you assign custom anchorX and Y to the text so that it functions like in those other games you mentioned.
s = [[this is a multiline
texto en lua]]
local tam = string.len(s)
local cantidad = 0
local displayed = display.newText("", 100, 100)
displayed.anchorX = 0
displayed.anchorY = 0
timer.performWithDelay(50, function()
cantidad = cantidad+1
displayed.text = s:sub(1,cantidad)
end, tam)

s = [[this is a multiline
texto en lua]]
local tam = string.len(s)
local cantidad = 0
local displayed = display.newText("", 100, 100)
--string.reverse(s)
timer.performWithDelay(50, function() cantidad = cantidad+1
displayed.text = s:sub(tam-cantidad, tam)
end, tam)
--I tried this but the text is written from end to start, and not viceversa
