Stenographer
Description:
--------------------
Stenographer is another chat copying addon. Stenographer will add a button to each of your chat frames that will let you copy the contents of the selected chat frame's messages. Stenographer also has a search bar which you can use to filter the messages.
Stenographer has two configuration lines located in its main file (Stenographer.lua). The first configuration line is:
Code:
-- You can change this number to any other number to change the total number of lines -- that Stenographer will be able remember and add to its frame local MaxLines = 128
Code:
-- You can change this value to false to disable the throttle, which will let you filter -- search results as you type into the search bar instead of only when you press enter local Throttle = true
--------------------
Known Issue(s):
--------------------
Stenographer tries to be conservative with it's cpu usage, but it can cause lag if you search through large amounts of messages with the throttle disabled (500~1000+).
Messages in ChatFrame2 (AKA: your combat log) will not always reflect what Stenographer records. This is due to how Blizzard handles adding and sorting messages in this specific chat frame.
Since the text is copied directly from the chat frame, messages embedded with hyperlinks, hex colors, and textures may not be found through the search function. You can still find anything copied by Stenographer, but what you see as a message may not directly reflect what the actual text would be due to the aforementioned possible embedded code.
Lastly, Stenographer will not like it if you try to search with lua's magic characters:
Code:
( ) . % + - * ? [ ^ $

That method is unreliable for large amounts of messages.

It's better to get the contents of all the frames returned by ChatFrame:GetRegions() and use that. To get maximum amount of data set the font size to .1 and after copying set it back to the original value.
