Chat message queries ????

[DaishoWoW]

What i want to do, is make a chat msg hook for whispers so that when a player whispers me "pc [itemlink]" it will return a whisper with various information pulled from my auctioneer AddOn like price etc

I read alot of the WoWAPI from wowwiki but this is all brand new to me. If someone could point me in the right direction of how I would call up info from Auctioneer thats being displayed in my tooltips, and how to place that in a return message?? I thought useing something like craftskill2 to do the trick (make my own !price) would work but inspecting the files it all looks garbled cant make any sense of it.

I do have AutoRespond AddOn. I thought I could make in-game /script commands to place in it as responses but Then also im not sure how to take something a character says and add it to a variable. Im most familiar with BASIC ><

Anyone please give me some direction here?

This two pages are (most of) what you need:

About chat messages:

References on the events:

You'll basically create a function that is applied to a chat message (which basically tests if it matches what you want, and if it does, executes your main function). You will create a frame (which will not be a graphical frame, just an object used to link chat events to your function). You will then register the CHAT_MESSAGE_WHISPER on this frame, and you will use something like MyFrame:SetScript("OnEvent",myfunction). This will basically call "myfunction" whenever the event CHAT_MESSAGE_WHISPER is fired.

The auctioneer addon already sends back information if you have the feature turned on.
