So for past week I been trying to make a simple highlighter as Ive tried to use the one on the forums but seems wont do what im after..
I have
function addEnemy(name)
name = name:title()
if mayhem.list.enemies == nil then
mayhem.list.enemies = {}
end
if not table.contains(mayhem.list.enemies, name) then
table.insert(mayhem.list.enemies, name)
end
if mayhem.list.highlighter.color[name] then killTrigger(mayhem.list.highlighter.color[name]) end
mayhem.list.highlighter.color[name] = tempRegexTrigger("\\b(?i)" .. name .. "\\b", [[colorAllInLine(matches[1], mayhem.list.highlighter.enemycolor)]])
cecho("<red>" .. name .. " <white>has been added as an enemy")
end
to Enemy the person.
So my question is HOW Would I store that so when I login again it doesn't 'disappear' and I have to redo it all again?

You can use table.save and table.load to store a regular table in an external file. Then you save it when you add new info, and load it when you connect. No need to mess with databases.

I'd use tables as well. This
highlighting script makes use of them as the backend as well.

But how would I recall the 'name' to be highlighted??

Well, I use a table that uses names as keys, and stores various info about people in a sub table as the corresponding value... So when I have a word that might be a name that I need to highlight, I check to see if there is a value for that word in my name table, and if there is, I highlight it.
So maybe something like this:
if nameList[name] then -- if you need to check for things like a trailing 's, you need to be a bit more careful here
selectString(name,1) -- if you are concerned with the same name showing up twice in a line, you need something a bit more involved here
setFgColor(r,g,b) -- assign values here as appropriate
end

I rewriting the highlighter thing on forums but made it use a variable like 'list.enemy' so I just have to do, colorEnemy(nameoftable) when logged in. and I save said table when I logout etc as I do with everything else
Thank tho ALOT,
