LUA function for getting item enchants

[Malsomnus]

Is there a way in the API to check the enchants on an item that I currently have equipped? I've been unable to find one so far...

To check for an enchant, you need to parse the itemstring.

You can get an itemlink for a slot in your inventory with GetInventoryItemLink:

local slotId = GetInventorySlotInfo("ChestSlot")
local link = GetInventoryItemLink("player", slotId)
local itemId, enchantId, gem1, gem2, gem3, gem4 = link:match("item:(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+):(%d+)")

Tekkub's Bimbo is an excellent example of how you can detect enchants/gems.

Ooh, I didn't know you could get that sort of info out of an item link... thanks

[edit]
I can't find anything about what these enchant/ gem numbers mean though, including in Bimbo... they aren't spell IDs nor item IDs.

Well, there's this page: http://www.wowpedia.org/EnchantId

It doesn't look very updated. Not sure what the best practice is for dealing with enchantIds.

Forgive the Necro but this thread shows up in searches and I don't want people to get the wring idea: The above discussion does NOT apply to the buffs Shaman put on their weapon.

Aside from parsing Tooltips and/or monitoring logs to see when Windfury etc were applied, there is no way of knowing the enchant put on a Shaman's weapon.

In the case of Shaman's, you will get a 0 (zero) in the colon separated string list.

Well, if this thread has already been resurrected...
I eventually solved the problem by creating an item link for a stat-less item with the given enchant ID and parsing its tooltip, and would like to thank the author of this add-on for the idea (and most of the implementation).

As for shamans, I used GetWeaponEnchantInfo to see if a weapon enchant exists, but this indeed does not tell me what the enchant is.

What about this: http://wowprogramming.com/docs/api/GetWeaponEnchantInfo ?
