Oh wow... I wasn't expecting this thread to explode overnight, though I do appreciate all of you adding your input. I almost don't know where to start.

Code:

This concatenates the two strings, separated by a blank and some additional information.

Whoops, my bad... so much information is flying everywhere I totally missed it. >.< Thanks!

My intention was for the "NPCData" variable to store data from multiple toons as I specified it in the "SavedVariable" section of my .toc file. If I declare it as a local variable will it still work across multiple toons?
I realised that I probably need to reverse the process and scan for the appropriate NPCs before recording any data so I will probably end up making arrays within something like NPCData[harrison] to store the player info. I don't know if it will make things less confusing then.
