ok im back lol.
You're much more likely to get helpful answers here if you do your best to use proper grammar, capitalization, punctuation, and formatting. What you wrote looks like a random collection of text messages concatenated into a single blob. It's painful to read, and suggests that you didn't really bother to spend much time on it, so most people won't bother. I'm happy to take some of my time to help -- otherwise I wouldn't be here -- but you need to show that you've taken some of yours.

That said, you'll probably want to read about the "unpack" and "seek" operators.
