finditem.mac - A macro to find an item

Use the Find Item Window to search for the specified item. This macro is similar to this command from some suggested hotkey posts seen on here,
"/noparse /bcaa /bc ${FindItem[water flask]}", except that it will also search your bank and real estate and whatever else the Find Item Window searches.

Usage:
/mac finditem "kedge backbone"

If MQ2EQBC is loaded, the macro will output using /bc like:

<toon1> Kedge Backbone - General 1-1

Otherwise...

aquietone updated finditem.mac with a new update entry:

Add some filtering support

Primarily just a learning exercise.

TIL eq actually has a /finditem <itemname> command, which will open the find window and populate the search text already...

Update adds the ability to provide a single search filter key/value pair:

./mac finditem "diamond" "type:combinable"
<toon1> Diamond (5), Location: General 1-1
<toon1> Blue Diamond (3), Location: General 1-2

./mac finditem "diamond" "type:jewelry"
<toon1> Blue Diamond Electrum Earring (1)...

aquietone updated finditem.mac with a new update entry:

Support multiple filters and cleanup

Updated to support specifying more than one search filter.

/bcaa //mac finditem diamond type:jewelry slot:ear
<toon1> Diamondine Earring (1), Location: General 1-8
<toon2> Blue Diamond Electrum Earring (1), Location: General 1-8

Probably last update to this. Took a look at MQ2Status plugin and realized it already has a set of /status itemname commands which also output to eqbc.

To check as many chars inventory as you need, you can export data from EQ to text files (/outputfiles).
With an Excel/Libre Office/Open office file, you can link them all to one tab per char and treat the data.
The file create HTML code with filter slot to display (or not the data for this slot).
Then with a macro programme (Super Macro), the macro collect the source code and build an HTML page and upload it to a web site (if you want to share data) or keep it on your computer (for yourself).
The forum is in French, but you can ask your question or call for help to the admins, they speak English, French, German, sweedish or Japanese.
When you need to locate something, you go on this page and search for an item.
The page will tell you on witch char / bag / slot / inventory / guild bank where is the item you are looking for and how many you have.

PS : it take time to set this, but one it is done, it update all data for 100 chars (or more) in less than 2 minutes.

This macro was more for just me wanting an alternative to the hotkey suggestion I'd seen on some posts, that used ${FindItem} which only searched in bags. Hadn't known about /status item from MQ2Status plugin either at the time I started messing with this.
I've tried some stuff using outputfiles in the past but output files can go outdated pretty quick and you have to run and import them again. But you actually don't need excel for that, eqresource has this multi character inventory manager app https://software.eqresource.com/ that can import outputfiles and do what you described, though not in a hosted site, just local app.
