World of Warcraft Item Data Retriever

What it does:
It gets data about the item you type in from Allakhazam's XML backend and sends it to your contact.

Why's it useful:
It isn't really, unless you play World of Warcraft, and even then it's not that useful.

So why am I posting it:
It's my first attempt at any sort of code, and it uses some tricks that people may want to incorporate into bigger projects (such as XML reading, saving URLs to files, etc).

What you'll need:
Microsoft XML Parser 4.0 (I think it's 4.0 anyway).

Usage Instructions:
Well, it uses straight text checks, and is case sensitive for the moment. Use:
!item Thunderfury, Blessed Blade of the Windseeker
or whatever you like.

Sample:
Heartseeker
Binds when Equipped
Unique
One Hand (Dagger)
49 - 92 Damage (Speed: 1.7)
(41.5 damage per second)
+4 Strength
Requires Level 58
Equip: Improves your chance to get a critical strike by 1%.

Notes:
I haven't gotten round to adding every single proc, actually I've only added a few.

Sounds great!...Now if only I had WoW..  Mabye you could add instructions or make it configurable so users can add their own items.

EDIT: Sorry I didn't read your post throughly   Since its retrived from an online database I guess my idea isn't all that useful.

Very nice script
Beats copy + pasting...

It's very addictive is all I can say. I think I've paid maybe £150 in subs.

A famous quote from Jeremy: "And then there's some religions that are just like give us all your money and your time and stuff right... so they're kinda like MMORPGs."

Don't hijack this thread for your discussion.

NOTE:
1. if you don't play World of Warcraft don't download this script.
2. if you download this script for testing, only give feedback on the script.

Sorry Keefe, All WOW posts gone from me.

hehe... this is kind of cool. good job!

Nice! I dont play WoW anymore, buts this is quite handy
