Mapkey Help

I am trying to put together a series of mapkeys that, along with other actions, delete specified tables from the drawing. I have it working, but the way it selects the table is by ID number (see the green line of the code below), I don't really like doing this and would rather use the table's name from the drawing tree. Say for instance "Table 43" from the picture below, though obviously these would be renamed in practise.

 

Can anybody tell me the syntax I need to use to achieve this? I tried using the macro recorder to work it out, but that was no help...

 

The code I'm using now:

mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdMdlTreeSearch`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Open `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio`;~ Close `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `SelOptionRadio` 1 `Drawing Table`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Select `selspecdlg0` `RuleTypes` 1 `ID`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Update `selspecdlg0` `ExtRulesLayout.ExtBasicIDLayout.InputIDPanel` `2`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `EvaluateBtn`;~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `ApplyBtn`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `selspecdlg0` `CancelButton`;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Activate `main_dlg_cur` `page_Annotate_control_btn` 1;\

mapkey(continued) ~ Command `ProCmdEditDeleteDwg`;\

Thanks in advance,

Have you tried to use the find tool to select the table by name?  I'd make sure that you select every option in the tool (the "look for", "look in", etc.) because the find tool "remembers' your last selections.

I'll give it a go, though I've since realised that if the table is given a name, say "myTable" in the format, that name doesn't get propagated to the subsequent drawings, just goes back to the automatic "Table 1" or whatever. That's quite annoying, and probably cancels out any benefit of trying to call out the table by name.
