hi, up till now i used focus to disperse my PI an now i want to use a macro with the name of the person in it.
Its a pretty standart macro:

#showtooltip
/cast [@INSERTPLAYERNAMEHERE,help,nodead][] Power Infusion
/cast [@player] Power Infusion

I wanna make myself a Weakaura to that show the name of the person who is currently getting the PI according to the macro, to make sure i think about updating it.

and then you need string matching to get the name. I would start and see if Weakauras can even call GetMacroBody though, i know EditMacro is blocked in weakauras.

Warcraft Wiki

API GetMacroBody

Returns the body (macro text) of a macro.

body = GetMacroBody(macro)

That WA works great, thanks, it cuts off the names at the first special character, but that is not an issue 🙂 Thank you very much
