Retrieving names from in game events

[SingleServing]

If I want to zone in somewhere and calculate the average level of everything in the zone using a who command what would I do to pick out the level of each thing using /who ?

...and if something hit/slashed/bashed/pierced/clawed/stinged/(not nice thing) to me using an event "YOU for" how would I get the name of whatever hit me using the chat text of "a grizzly bear claws YOU for 1 dmg!" without attemping to target and do a $target(name)

My first thoughts were something along the lines of finding the information you want to cut out using

$arg(num,string)
Returns a space delimited substring.
ie. $arg(2,"Am I here?") will return "I"


then

$left(num,string)
Returns a couple of the characters from the left side of string
ie. $left(4,"Am I here?") will return "Am I

to just select the information to the left containing the name.

Any help would be appriciated =)

SS if you look in hunter.mac in the HitsYou event it parses the mobs name out and sets a variable to it. The rest of the dealing with aggro code doesnt work to well but that bit does.

I'd normally just test this but I'm not at home and I'm working on something soooo...

Sub Event_Chat: Event callback for messages
$p0 - Channel of message (ooc etc., chat channels will callback with the name of the channel)
(ie. /join port ... callback will have $p0==port)
$p1 - Name of the person who sent the message
$p2 - Text they sent

Sub Event_name: Custom event callback defined by #event
$p0 - Line that triggered event

If I want to trigger off multiple lines of text like a who npc command would I have to trigger off

"[" ? Assuming thats the first character in the string.

Also, would macroquest be able to do an event check for each line of something at the same time its doing a /who command? I don't think so...

Lastly, if I triggered off of the first line of text on a command like /who npc for example would $p0 only return the first line of code or the entire who?

Possible to write this? Maybe, pain in ass ? Very likely
