Writing raid to file.

Hey,

I've been looking for an addon which has the feature to write all the player names (with or without additional information) which participates in the current raid, to any kind of file. The file format wouldn't matter the most, but a txt file would be easiest.

This would make the work of updating raid points a whole lot easier, instead of a snapshot of the screen.

I'm on my way learning Lua scripting atm, but if anyone knew about any addons like this, or wanted to give me some tips/hints on how to do this, it would be appreacieted.

Thanks.

You can't write to a file, but you can have WoW save a variable containing all the names. In 1.6 all variables go into the same SavedVariables.lua file. In 1.7 I think each mod gets its own save file. That should make it a lot easier to get at the names.
