/say POINAME: Ott Stompgutt
/say POIDESC: Named Giant, triggered by various quests
/loc

then press the second macro:
/: loc ; say EQ2MAP_END ; log

now just write a parser that searches the log file for EQ2MAP_START and processes until EQ2MAP_END

The parser can be run after a gaming session, ask for any missing info, check zone names for correctness and submit the info to EQ2MAP automatically. It should also clear the log file after running, or just remove the lines for EQ2MAP as it processes them.

Adding "/who myname" to macro1 would add the reporting toons name AND the correct zone name to the log...
And add /loc to macro1 as well
Also, why not use a dedicated poi channel so those around you don't have to listen to you spout this stuff?

The parser is the problem.
