getting bagslots from the tooltip

Unless there is a function where I can get the total number of slots in a bag that is in my inventory (not equipped)

My guess is that I have to scan the tooltip, but I have no idea how to do that

I know that

Code:

CONTAINER_SLOTS = "%d Slot %s";

is the line in the tooltip

but not how to get %d as a value from that line in the tooltip

I would appreciate a sample code

I couldn't see anything specific, so hopefully someone better versed in this area will pipe in at some point, but this might be one way of getting the info you need.

Get the item in the tooltip
https://wow.gamepedia.com/API_GameTooltip_GetItem

Use the item link return value
https://wow.gamepedia.com/ItemLink

Then see what the different values are in the itemString relating to the item
https://wow.gamepedia.com/ItemString

Hopefully one of those values will be the bag quantity, trial and error will obviously be the key

Lua Code:

-- Construct your saarch pattern based on the existing global string:
local S_ITEM_LEVEL   = "^" .. gsub(ITEM_LEVEL, "%%d", "(%%d+)")
local strmatch = string.match
 
-- Create the tooltip:
local scantip = CreateFrame("GameTooltip", "MyScanningTooltip", nil, "GameTooltipTemplate")
scantip:SetOwner(UIParent, "ANCHOR_NONE")
 
local function GetItemLevelFromTooltip(itemLink)
    -- Pass the item link to the tooltip:
    scantip:SetHyperlink(itemLink)
 
    -- Scan the tooltip:
    for i = 2, scantip:NumLines() do -- Line 1 is always the name so you can skip it.
        local text = _G["MyScanningTooltipTextLeft"..i]:GetText()
        if text and text ~= "" then
        local itemLevel = strmatch(text, S_ITEM_LEVEL)
            if itemLevel then
                return itemLevel
            end
        end
    end
end

I might get some of the info i need from getItemString

--

Yes d87 i was thinking of a function like this but for bagslots and not Ilvl but i have no idea what the gsub is suppose to look like

local pattern = "^" .. CONTAINER_SLOTS:gsub("%%d", "(%%d+)"):gsub("%%s", ".+")

I can't test this yet, but can you please eli5 what this means?
From what i have read %d is number, %s is string but why use %%d?

If you want to output/match a literal % you need to double it up so that the interpreter knows, otherwise it assumes you want to format that character or string.

Check this out

Before printing you might want to sort the suggestions in, for example, descending benefit.
How should your addon treat profession bags? What about bags that are in (or for) bank?

thank you all!

I really appreciate suggestions :)
This is only meant for personal use now. The addon tells me if I have gotten any better gear, a bigger bag or new transmog gear
As of now it only check the 0-4 slots of the inventory, and only for the subtype "Bag"
But I might add this in if/after a public release
I have no idea how the addon will work with other languages than English either
