Getting freinds list using scripting

Hi friends,

I am very new to the second life and the linden scripting.

I am trying to extract my friends list through a object but I am not able to.

I tried using the inventory methods available but in vain.

Kindly help me with this.

Sincerely,
Gorden Letord

This is currently not possible using LSL alone. You would need to build a custom client/viewer program to do that (yes, the use of the libsecondlife library counts as a custom client). Suffice it to say, this is beyond most people's desired level of involvement.

Usually the solution for this sort of thing is to maintain a separate list of people manually. Your friends' names would be easiest, but a list of keys is generally more useful to scripts. You can obtain they key of many but not all residents through http://w-hat.com/name2key

or the key of any resident you want through new search all... limit the search to people, then type in the desired name, click their name and you'll be taken to a page containing profile data... at the bottom is a url link to the page... the last part of that url after 'resident/' is that av's key...

Interesting. Doesn't work if they don't have their profile in search though (there's a checkbox). You CAN copy/paste from there though, which is a lot better than the old Debug Console/IM solution.

ah you can get around that by using the magic phrase
intitle:Avatar Name

at least I've pulled up pages that way before for avatars that are set to not be listed.
I think it's because they don't filter the title search parameter (because they don't officially expose it)
