Hey, I was in AC for the weekend so I didn't see there was a little renewed interest in this. If anyone needs any more help with this, hit me up. I'd love to see some more work done on this, but honestly I'm probably not the one to do it, as I pretty much suck at AHK. Someone better than me probably could find limits buddies are playing, but it would involve searching through the table list, which I'm not sure how to do. But, I've been using it nearly every day since the day I posted it, and basically it works pretty well for narrowing down a list of say, 200 fish into a list of 20 online players.
I may try to put some more work into it today, because I can at least tell if the players are playing sngs, tournies or cash games, which is helpful.
For Wynton:
1. Turn on computer.
2. Go to
http://www.autohotkey.com
3. Download and install autohotkey software
4. Open a new text file on your desktop - name it buddies.ahk
5. Paste the text in my first post into it, save and close.
6. Open a new text file at c:\ - call it buddies.txt
7. Write a list of players you want to search for, one per line, into this file, save and close.
8. Double click buddies.ahk - wait until your computer stops going crazy (could be a while if it's a long list)
9. This created a new file at c:\onlinebuddies.txt
10. Open onlinebuddies.txt, this is a sublist of your big list containing the names of the people who are online.
