I was wondering if anyone could help me.
I want the name from "http://www.imperian.com/players.php?search=who" into mushclient so I can print them, any suggestion?

Do you mean once, or whenever you want?

There is a forum post about using the Lua socket library:

In that it shows how you can pull in a web page as a variable. You could then parse that to extract the player names. Not a totally trivial exercise, but not too bad.
