I'm fairly new to wow addons, though I've used lua and xml before. I was having a problem with getting channel text, hooking it, and formatting it. Usually you have

[5. Channel] [Person]: Text

but what I was trying to do was display instead of that show something along the lines of:

-Person- Text
-Person2- Text Text

and it would be displayed in a seperate chat frame. The problem I had was either it wouldn't hook it, or it just wouldn't show anything or join the channel. Anyone have any good examples of how I could go about doing something like this?
