[Addon Request] Easy Mass Cancel Addon

[DrWho1988]

I was wondering if it would be possible to take this macro

/run local i=1;local n=1;while n ~= nil do n=GetAuctionItemInfo("owner",i);if n~=nil and strfind(n,"^Iceblade") then CancelAuction(i) end i=i+1 end

and incorporate it into an addon where all you have to do is type in the name, or part of a name, into a search box and then hit a button to cancel all. This would be much easier and convenient than going into the macros menu and manually editing it everytime.

I'd do this myself but I'm LUA retarded, so any kind of help would be greatly appreciated

Ok, using a slashcommand.

Just put this snippet in any .lua file of an addon you use:

local function cancel(name)
	local i = 1;
	local n = 1;
	while n do
		n = GetAuctionItemInfo("owner",i)
		if n and strfind(n,"^"..name) then CancelAuction(i) end
		i = i + 1
	end
end

SLASH_CANCELAUCTION1 = "/ca"
SLASH_CANCELAUCTION2 = "/cancelauction"

function SlashCmdList.CANCELAUCTION(name)
	name = tostring(name)
	if name then
		cancel(name)
	end
end

Usage /ca <name> or /cancelauction <name>.

Wow thanks so much ! I have this added to Auctioneer Advanced and it works great. I'm gonna work on making this into a stand alone addon (that is unless you object to it), with full credit going to you. Enjoy your +Repx3

Here's the modified CoreAPI.lua. The code is at the bottom. Place it into your "Interface\Addons\Auc-Advanced" folder
