Reading external data files

[Quib]

By html post I mean host headers

I see now. No, there's no way to concatenate strings in EQ2 XML.

Or is the xml filterable at all, so let's say I have a dropdown that has Nettleville and press go, can I get just the guards in Nettleville.

XML isn't filterable based on something you type in. You can make a button with hardcoded calls to make certain things visible/non-visible, but any in-game typed filtering is hardcoded (like the market window, or tradeskill recipe window).

I can always create the file and save it outside of the database, so that's not a problem.

Outside of the HTML window, this is your best bet to get data in game.
