Release MQ2FindItem

[Sym]

PoK tradeskill vendors are great but holy crap they have a lot of items. I got tired of scrolling so I made this.

/finditem name

name will be a partial match unless you put = in front of it. If a match is found it will select that item in the merchant window. Only first match is selected.

Items with spaces in the name need to be enclosed in quotes.

When using exact match if no match is found it will select some random item. Looking into how to handle that better.


Doesn't do anything if you don't have merchant window open.

I know that this is a thread necro but I make no apologies. I'm going through the plugin list to see if I'm missing anything.

Holy hell this plugin would be useful. Much easier than trying to figure out which /notify MerchantWnd ItemList listselect # works or needing to use ${Window[MerchantWnd].Child[ItemList].List[=Water Flask,2]} in a macro.
Though /finditem is now used as an EverQuest command to pull up the Find Item window and search for the requested item in your inventory.

God, it could even work with bazaar windows, parcel merchants, ..... please.

I thought we just use the Find Item window now? Regardless, here's the source,

It looks like this interacts with merchant windows, not inventory. Starting a new character and want to have them pick up Deluxe Toolboxes? No longer would you need to write something like
/notify MerchantWnd ItemList listselect ${Window[MerchantWnd].Child[ItemList].List[=Deluxe Toolbox,2]}

@Knightly could you investigate adding this functionality?

Wow. Wow.

Though /invoke ${Merchant.SelectItem[Deluxe Toolbox]} isn't as friendly.
