Export SavedVariables

[Deli]

Hi,

in our Guild we use GuildAds, so when a member needs something
he asked via guidads.

But what is when I am not in the game, for example when I'm on work?

So I want export the SavedVariables\Guildads.lua in an format, which I
can easy parse with php and generate an page where I link the Items
to an german wow-database.

Has anybody tried something in this direction? The lua savedvariables has
in the most plugins the same format as shown below.

Regards,
Deli

You don't really have any control over the format of the SavedVariables file beyond the table structure. I'm afraid you'll have to parse it as is.

Hi,

ok that we can not control the format I had supposed, but I had hope for an solution with an external script. PHP, VB, Java, C, C++, etc.

if you look at the WoW Profilers project, I know their luaparse.php/wowdb.php pair is rather flexible, I used it when I wrote my bookworm parser, but that never realy got off the ground.

Attatched are 3 files
LUAParse.php
-- the LUA Partser function
wowdb.php
-- a database abstration layer tailored for use with LUAParse.php
update.php
-- an example of how to implement the above 2 files


all of these files are ripped right out of WoWProfiler, I just know in the past I have found them easy enough to tweak to my own needs. I did not write them.

Thx,

I will try it.
