Details[]
- Remember, chatItemLink(s) are different than itemLink parameters needed by many APIs. To properly extract an itemLink from a chatItemLink, here is a neat function:
--[[ Function: extractItemLinkFromChatItemLink Purpose: gets an item link string from a chat item link string Note: don't ask questions, it works ]] function extractItemLinkFromChatItemLink(message) local _, _, _, _itemLink = string.find(message, "(|H(.+)|h)"); _, _, _itemLink = string.find(_itemLink, "(.-|h)"); return _itemLink; end
- Here is a chatItemLink Example:
|cffffffff|Hitem:3771:0:0:0|h[Wild Hog Shank]|h|r
- Here is an itemLink Example:
item:3771:0:0:0
