[Lua] extracting values

i play a game called world of warcraft and i have an addon that saves data about your character to a Lua file. I was wondering if someone could make something that could extract values from the Lua files and then display them just on like a basic php website page


like from this \/




to this \/



This isnt the only type of information that i want to export so if someone could show me a general way that would work i would be very thankfull.

If you would like me to show the whole file i will try and do that.

is that the from the file "CharacterProfiler.lua"?

it not that easy to split the data apart. you would have to split and analyze each line.

i.e read line, does the line contain a { , then then the value between '[' and ']' is the type name. and you would have to check the values between those brackets too, determine if it a name or item id.

if you know php, there is a roster for uploading data to a website, which does contain a analyzer for lua files. you would like to look at the files update.php and luaparser.php.

info for those who don't play world of warcraft (wow) but know lua and think this isn't lua:

the addon in wow is programmed using lua code. when an addon need to save some data it is saved in a file called <addon name>.lua e.g. the addon characterProfile save data to the file characterProfile.lua

Yes this is just a part from CharacterProfiler.lua and also thanks for the link for the roster i am trying to download it now (i hvae reached my limit and speed slowed down ). im not that good with php so i might still ask some questions if i run into a problem
