For years I have sought a certain gem. It is called the Heart of the Mountain and it's the size of your fist! The Dark Iron dwarves have it locked in their vault and, try as I may, they won't let me purchase it.

So I must resort to force.

Fight your way to The Black Vault near the Hall of Crafting, breach its secret safe and gain the Heart. To do that, you must defeat Watchman Doomgrip, and he won't appear until you've opened every relic coffer in the vault!

Good luck.

i dont know if i can use a macro instead i know of

questDescription, questObjectives = GetQuestLogQuestText()

i jest dont know how to get it to work

and have it whisper back in chat window for me to copy it ?

You can probably use CopyThat! in a macro to get just the quest description frame text only.

I'll try to check the frame name and post back here with the exact macro later (don't have access to WoW atm)

If you have an in-game "notepad" addon, you can easily get the text in there to copy with something like this:

local description, objectives = GetQuestLogQuestText()
NotepadEditBox:SetText( "Description:\n\n" .. description .. "\n\nObjectives:\n\n" .. objectives )
NotepadEditBox:SetFocus()
NotepadEditBox:HighlightText()

This will fill in the notepad editbox with the quest log text, focus it, and select all the text, so all you have to do is hit Ctrl+C.

Replace "NotepadEditBox" with the actual name of the frame; if you don't know what it is, you should be able to find it by typing "/framestack" and moving the cursor over it.

.. i must be dumm cant get it to work

yes i would really appreciate your help and time

[Phanx]

Adapting code for a macro means adding "/run " at the beginning and removing all the line breaks, not prefixing each line with a slash. You should be getting tons of messages about commands not existing with the macro you tried.

If "BxNotepadFrame" is the actual name of the frame where the addon displays text, then this should work:

/run local f, d, o = BxNotepadFrame, GetQuestLogQuestText() f:SetText("Description:\n\n" .. d .. "\n\nObjectives:\n\n" .. o) f:SetFocus() f:HighlightText()

If that doesn't work, double-check the correct frame name using the /framestack command, or post a link to where I can download the addon to view its code and find the frame name for you.

[Dridzt]

If using CopyThat you can try this macro

/cpyt QuestLogDetailScrollChildFrame
/run CopyThatFrameScrollText:HighlightText()

Then just hit Ctrl+C (or whatever keyboard shortcut you have for copy and it should copy the text to clipboard.

The questlog needs to be open and the quest you're interested in selected.

Also this macro get the right text to "chat" window.

"/run print(QuestInfoObjectivesText:GetText())for i=1,10 do t=_G["QuestInfoObjective"..i]:GetText() if t then print(t) end end print(QuestInfoDescriptionText:GetText())"

but how can I make it print only QuestInfoDescriptionText in the "QuestLogDetailScrollChildFrame Text" - Frame so I copy-paste all fast?

I am trying /cpyt QuestInfoDescriptionText with an open quest but it dont get it - I cannot press enter.
I used /framestack command and didnt find QuestInfoDescription.
How can we make /cpyt read and show Quest Description only?

I wope you can help me.
(I am sorry for bad Eng)
Thanks you.
