Ah yes, you could use a regularly cached one and loop though that.

Also, I did make this

function getServerByName(%name) // Call this function with the argument %name being the server's name
{
   if(%name $= "") // if the name is blank, let's not waste our time.
   return;

   new HTTPObject(GSBN_HTTP).get("http://master2.blockland.us:80", "/index.php"); // Send a request for the master server list
   GSBN_HTTP.nameToSearchFor = %name; // Store the name we want for later use
}

function GSBN_HTTP::onLine(%this, %line) // When we get a line from the master server
{
   if(getField(%line, 0) $= "FIELDS" || getField(%line, 0) $= "START") // If the lines start with this, we don't need them
   return;

   %names = %names TAB getField(%line, 4); // Saves all of the server names to a variable, separated by tabs - these are now fields
   %servers = %servers TAB getField(%line, 0) @ ":" @ getField(%line, 1); // Save the servers' connection details

   if(getField(%line, 0) $= "END") // Once we have them all, we are ready to cycle through each one
   {
   for(%i = 0; %i < getFieldCount(%names); %i++)
   {
   if(getField(%names, %i) $= %this.nameToSearchFor) // if the server name is the same as the name you specified earlier, we have found it!
   {
   doStuffWithServer(getField(%servers, %i)); // Call any function you like with getField(%servers, %i) will return ip:port
   break;
   }
   }

   %this.delete();
   }
}

now, fluff, if you could only explain that.

I have now annotated it, if you need any further assistance, I'll do my best to help :)

Where are you storing %servers and %names? It doesn't magically exist all the time. You should probably store it on the HTTPObject itself (changing %servers to %this.servers and doing the same for %names) and also empty those variables upon starting a new query.

Secondly, this will create an empty server in the start of the list. You might want to start the field loop at 1 instead of 0 to skip it. It isn't that much of a problem because "" won't be checked (start of getServerByName), but it's still a detail.
