Saved Variables

[yssaril]

is it possible to access the save varaibles of one addon from another addon dependent on the first one if so how?

yes, saved variables are just like any other variable, so you can access them directly from wherever, all you need to know to do that is the name of such variable.
For example:
Addon A has a variable called varA;
Your addon B wants to access the data stored in varA, all you need to do is:
local myVar = varA;
now you have a copy of the variable varA in your local variable myVar

for i=5, 10 do
    bagSlots = GetContainerNumSlots(i);
    bagId = BankButtonIDToInvSlotID(i, 1);
    if (bagSlots > 0) then
        for j=1, bagSlots do
            itemLink = GetContainerItemLink(i, j);
        -- etc

If you also want to know the type of bags in the expansion slots, use

GetInventoryItemLink("player", bagId)
