Thank you for your reply. I do have AGS installed as an addon, so that may well be the explanation for this problem. I am developing this specific addon because I am new to addon development and I just wanted to see how they work. I am fairly skilled in C# development but LUA is new to me so I thought I would give it a try.
The code that I described in my post above gives me lines like e.g.:
Code:
[1] = "400042;156825;Style Page: Opal Bloodspawn Mace;9200;951966",
[2] = "400042;190025;Style Page: Witchmother's Servant's Gloves;8600;951978",
[3] = "400042;147707;Crafting Motif 73: Anequina Legs;1300;2184002",
and I have written some C# code that retrieves the SavedVariables file for further processing.
The addon and its output is intended for my own personal use, and as a way to become more familiar with the inner workings of AddOns/LUA in general.
