I'm gonna show how to make an AddOn that can get a list of your guilds and members, and then how to strip all of the Lua from the SaveVariable's text using Regular Expression in Notepad++...

Create a new folder (Right-click, New Folder) in the AddOns folder called "MyGuilds" (Elder Scrolls Online\live\AddOns\MyGuilds).

Inside the "MyGuilds" folder create a new file (Right-click, New Text Document) named "MyGuilds.txt" (make sure file extensions are enabled in Windows).

Open "MyGuilds.txt" with Notepad, copy/paste the text below into it, and then save the file:

## Title: MyGuilds
## Description: This is my guilds addon.
## Author: N00BxV1
## Version: 1.0.0
## APIVersion: 100044
## SavedVariables: MyGuilds_Vars
MyGuilds.lua

Inside the "MyGuilds" folder create another new file (Right-Click, New Text Document) named "MyGuilds.lua" (make sure file extensions are enabled in Windows).

Open "MyGuilds.lua" with Notepad, copy/paste the text below into it, and then save the file:

EVENT_MANAGER:RegisterForEvent("MyGuilds", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED, function(eventCode, addonName)
    if addonName ~= "MyGuilds" then return end
    EVENT_MANAGER:UnregisterForEvent("MyGuilds", EVENT_ADD_ON_LOADED)
    -- MyGuilds_Vars is defined in MyGuilds.txt
    MyGuilds_Vars = nil
    MyGuilds_Vars = {}
    for guildIndex = 1, GetNumGuilds() do
        local guildId = GetGuildId(guildIndex)
        local guildName = GetGuildName(guildId)
        MyGuilds_Vars[guildIndex] = {}
        MyGuilds_Vars[guildIndex][guildName] = {}
        for memberIndex = 1, GetNumGuildMembers(guildId) do
            local memberName, _, _, _, _ = GetGuildMemberInfo(guildId, memberIndex)
            MyGuilds_Vars[guildIndex][guildName][memberIndex] = memberName
        end
    end
    for guildIndex, guildTable in pairs(MyGuilds_Vars) do
        for guildName, memberTable in pairs(guildTable) do
            table.sort(memberTable)
        end
    end
end)

You should now have a folder named "MyGuilds" inside the AddOns folder. And inside of the "MyGuilds" folder there should be two files, one named "MyGuilds.txt" and the other named "MyGuilds.lua".

Now start the game and login to a character... When your character has fully loaded into the game then type this into chat and press enter:

/reloadui

The SavedVariables should now be saved to disk. Now quit the game so that we can do the next part...

Go download Notepad++ if you don't already have it. It's better than Windows Notepad and we need it because it can use Regular Expression.

Now go to the SavedVariables folder and open the file named "MyGuilds.lua" in Notepad++ (Elder Scrolls Online\live\SavedVariables\MyGuilds.lua).

The text should look something like this:

MyGuilds_Vars =
{
    [1] = 
    {
        ["First Guild Name"] = 
        {
            [1] = "@UserNameA",
            [2] = "@UserNameB",
            [3] = "@UserNameC",
            [4] = "@UserNameD",
            [5] = "@UserNameE",
        },
    },
    [2] = 
    {
        ["Second Guild Name"] = 
        {
            [1] = "@UserNameF",
            [2] = "@UserNameG",
            [3] = "@UserNameH",
            [4] = "@UserNameI",
            [5] = "@UserNameJ",
        },
    },
    [3] = 
    {
        ["Third Guild Name"] = 
        {
            [1] = "@UserNameK",
            [2] = "@UserNameL",
            [3] = "@UserNameM",
            [4] = "@UserNameN",
            [5] = "@UserNameO",
        },
    },
    [4] = 
    {
        ["Fourth Guild Name"] = 
        {
            [1] = "@UserNameP",
            [2] = "@UserNameQ",
            [3] = "@UserNameR",
            [4] = "@UserNameS",
            [5] = "@UserNameT",
        },
    },
    [5] = 
    {
        ["Fifth Guild Name"] = 
        {
            [1] = "@UserNameU",
            [2] = "@UserNameV",
            [3] = "@UserNameW",
            [4] = "@UserNameX",
            [5] = "@UserNameY",
        },
    },
}

Press Ctrl+A in Notepad++ to Select All text.

Press Ctrl+H in Notepad++ to open the Find/Replace window.

In the Replace window under "Search Mode" select "Regular expression". Leave all other options unchecked.

In the Replace window's "Find what" box enter this text:

".+?"(*SKIP)(*F)|.

In the Replace window's "Replace with" box leave it empty.

Now click "Replace All" and that should remove all of the Lua parts of the text.

In the Replace window's "Find what" box enter this text:

\r\n\r\n\r\n

In the Replace window's "Replace with" box leave it empty.

Now click "Replace All" and that should remove a bunch of empty lines.

In the Replace window's "Find what" box enter this text:

"

In the Replace window's "Replace with" box leave it empty.

Now click "Replace All" and that should remove all of the quotation marks.

Finally you're done and should have some text that looks like this:

First Guild Name

@UserNameA
@UserNameB
@UserNameC
@UserNameD
@UserNameE

Second Guild Name

@UserNameF
@UserNameG
@UserNameH
@UserNameI
@UserNameJ

Third Guild Name

@UserNameK
@UserNameL
@UserNameM
@UserNameN
@UserNameO

Fourth Guild Name

@UserNameP
@UserNameQ
@UserNameR
@UserNameS
@UserNameT

Fifth Guild Name

@UserNameU
@UserNameV
@UserNameW
@UserNameX
@UserNameY

P.S: Don't mind the weird coloring of the text in the Code blocks, that's just how it works on these forums...
