    XSSFilter could not parse (X)HTML:



<p><span lang="EN">
<p>I'm trying to read the whole Auction House and store the name of each item in a table, but only the first 50 names appear in the created table in the Saved Variables folder.</p>


<p>My code is:</p>


<p>nametable={}</p>


<p>temp,numofAH=GetNumAuctionItems("list")</p>


<p>for loop=1,numofAH do</p>


<p>name, texture, count, quality, canUse, level, minBid, minIncrement, buyoutPrice, bidAmount, highBidder, owner = GetAuctionItemInfo("list", loop);</p>


<p>nametable[loop]=name</p>


<p>end</p>


<p>Its probably something simple I'm missing, but any advice would be appreciated. Thanks :)</p>

    Please refer to the documentation of http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/QueryAuctionItems.  The auction house returns a limited number of items per page.  If you need more than one page, you need to query the auction house for them.

    Thanks - i'll give it a try :)  After I'd posted the initial question I realised the significane of 50 items being one page of info, but thought there may be more to it than that. Thanks again.

    After checking the QueryAuctionItems function, this is not going to achieve what I want (at least I think not). I need to search the whole auction house, one item at a time, returning the Name and BuyoutPrice. The QueryAuctionItems function won't do this for me. A simple version of the code would look something like

    for n=1 to end of AuctionHouse (typically 25000+)

    get the nth item from the auction house (i expected GetAuctionItemInfo("list",n) to manage this, but alas not.)

    put the name and pricing details into a table

    end of loop

    Any ideas please - or am I missing something with the QueryAuctionsFunction. I know this can access the items from individual AH pages, but I can't see how I would then scan that page of 50 items to read the name and pricing details.

    Actually, forget that last post - I think I've got it worked out.

    By using QueryAuctionItems with all the arguments as null, (ie "" or 0) except for page, I can get the auctions from that page, then use GetAuctionItemsInfo("list",index+(page * 50)) to read the info I need.

    Hopefully this will work - and if it does I'll post a reply to this thread to let you know :)
