Expected account, got string

[crismar]

I'm working on one of my system and I want to be able to get account data without player being online thus having a command like /getaccpos [account name]. The problem is the account name is a string, how do I convert a string into an account ?

You don't understand... I want to turn a string into an account, so I can use that string inside getAccountData.

getAccount doesn't help me.

What string?

getAccount will return the account element, which is what you need to use in getAccountData - not a string.

For example you could do this;

function exampleCommand_Handler(thePlayer, theCMD, theTarget) 
    local theData = getAccountData(getAccount(theTarget), "DataKey"); 
end 
addCommandHandler("GetAccPos", exampleCommand_Handler, false, false); 

Usage would be for example; /getaccposs account1
