Hi,
after some work I managed it to extract the informations I need.
Now I habe some problems saving the information.
In my .toc file I inserted: ## SavedVariables: varA,varB

In my addOn.lua file I collect information into an array.
How do I write the complete array-content into varA, so that it appears in my savingVariables\addOn.lua file?
I can write single strings into my varibles and they appear in the save-file after exiting the game, but with my array-content I have some problems.
Maybe someone can help me or giving me a hint?

Regards...

This would be better asked in the UI & Macro forum over at worldofwarcraft.com

Sorry I can't give much more than that

well, ehm...did I use the wrong board? I thought in here we're talking about coding, including LUA and PHP for using characterProfiler and/or guildRoster ;-)
Sorry for posting this in here. :-) I will try this in the wow forum and if someone in here's interested in the answer, leave me a message ;-)

Well, the only unfortunate thing is that I only modify other addon's to my taste, and I can't write one from the ground up.

I'm not sure that we have many people here that are up to speed on LUA and addon coding. I just think you'll get an answer quicker if you were to post it on the WoW forums.

The only one around here that has even made a wow addon was hannah, author of the "Shopping" addon which is posted here

Ups sry, better late than never

Try this:

Code: Select all


varA = {}

local datastore = {}
datastore.data1 = "Hello"
datastore.data2 = 10
datastore.callitwhatever = "Test"

table.insert(varA, datastore)

-- This is how you retrieve the data
local n = table.getn(varA)

for t,q in varA do
    -- t is a number, the index for the value in the table
    -- q is 'datastore', eg. you can use q.data1 and q.callitwhatever
end


If you set varA as SavedVariable in .toc file WoW saves this data
if you leave/logout
