    Need help with channel relay addon to bnet friend

    Could anyone make a quick simple addon so I can relay a selected channel to one of my battle.net friends. For instance If I wanted to relay trade chat all I would have to do is through a slash command choose a battle.net friend to relay do then select the channel I would want to relay. AN example of this slash command would be: /relay [Bnet Friend] [channel] without the brackets of course. Examples would be Trade, general, local def, etc. Thanks for anyone who can help.

    Code:
    local forwards={}
    local f=CreateFrame("Frame")
    f:SetScript("OnEvent",function(s,e,msg,send,_,_,_,_,_,_,name)

            if sName and sRealm then send=("%s-%s"):format(sName,sRealm) end
            local m = ("[%s - %s]: %s"):format(name,send,msg)
            if m:len() > 255 then m = ("%s..."):format(m:sub(1,252)) end

        else
            print("Usage: |cffffff00/relay (start|stop|list)|r")
        end
    end
    SLASH_RELAY1 = "/relay"
    How to use. Drycoded and untested.

    Thank you so much this works great but sorry to sound picky but it will just be a quality of life improvement. Can you change a part of the code to add more info for /relay list? with the /relay list it shows this:
    Currently forwarding the following channels:
    General:
    General - Hellfire Peninsula:

    Is there anyway to add the extra info to tell you WHICH BNET friend you're also relaying it too as well? I see how the code works in a way that you can relay more then one channel to anyone or just multiple channels relayed to same person. Is there a way to set it up by grouping the info PER BNET friend like for instance:

    Currently forwarding the following channels to Bnet Friend "Name of Friend":
    General:
    General - Hellfire Peninsula:

    With this it will have a separate group for each Bnet friend if you're relaying it to more then one person and show the channel relayed for each friend as well. Sorry if you didn't understand my request and if that is too much to ask for then don't worry about.

    Sorry just one more request but could you add a string to abbreviate the realm names? The chat addon Prat has a setting to shorten the realm name to just the first 3 letters. For example my name could show up as IXBillyXI-Archimonde but an abbreviated version would show up as IXBillyXI-Arc. Sorry for another request just another quality of life improvement.

    Added both above. The part where it didn't display who it's relaying to in /relay list was actually a bug.
