I've got a script that "walks" a region and collects land height data. That data is stored in strings. I want to use the data outside of SL. So far I've been Whispering the strings and doing a copy/paste into an external text editor. (Please don't laugh.) Is it possible to get these strings out of SL some other more efficient way? Perhaps by using llHTTPRequest?

You could collate all of the data and send them via llEmail, which might be convenient (be aware that there is a size limitation). Or, you could do what I did when making parcel maps, and use llHTTPRequest to send the information to a particular off-world server script, which records it somehow (a flat file, an SQL database etc). This requires a little extra effort but it far by the most flexible.
