Gathering Item Data

[regex3k]

Well I guess first off Thottbot is so obfusticated I can not begin to understand what's going on with that AddOn without spending a year decrypting it but what I seek is how to collect item data. Not the link, not the name of the item and all that basic stuff I can grab from GetItemInfo(ID). I want the data about the item (attributes, armor, On Use text, etc) either as a string of text or (better yet but not neccisary) as variables... so how do I grab this information?

Is it in the itemscache.wdb?

Is it a widget function. I grab info from a tooltip?

Is it passed through an event argument?

Do I find the answer at the bottom of a bottle at the mushroom palace?

Please, I seek any information someone can give me. I have ripped apart all the MPQ files and all the data files and nothing... though I know this probably wouldn't help me in anycase.

I figuered it out... almost. Gotta parse the tooltip...

This board is dead btw! Promote this site more! =)

Nearly everything about the item is in there, stats, procs, etc. Allakhazam crawls them as you can see when you click the XML link of items.
