Thanks kkThnx, the one you posted works the same as Munk's code basically. It clears selected windows without clearing all windows.

For some reason, it clears the combat log fine, but if you tab between the combat log views (What happened to me?) thing it repopulates the data you previously cleared. If this is unavoidable then it's fine, mainly just wanted to clear chat anyway.

Yah, now we can all thank Phanx as usual! Phanx has some pretty neat ways of coding things. You could learn a couple things.

Just to clarify, that's not my code. I got it from someone who shared it a very very long time ago on the official forums.

The combat log entries are not stored in the message frame, so to speak, so it can be repopulated again. There seems to be a function CombatLogClearEntries() which sounds like it might do what you want.

Here you go

Code:

SLASH_CLEARCHAT1 = "/clear"

SLASH_CLEARCHAT2 = "/clearchat"



SlashCmdList.CLEARCHAT = function(cmd)

        cmd = cmd and strtrim(strlower(cmd))

        for i = 1, NUM_CHAT_WINDOWS do

                local f = _G["ChatFrame"..i]

                if f:IsVisible() or cmd == "all" then

                        f:Clear()

                end

        end

end

I tested this window by window and this is what you are looking for 100%

How do you actually implement and use this in the game?

Copy/paste the code to this website to create/download as an addon like any other. Add it to your AddOns folder and login (or /reload).

Type /clear (or /clearchat) in-game to use.
