Buff Time Left

Is there a way to return a buff time left value from a macro?

I have been playing with this function, but can't seem to get what I want: GetPlayerBuffLeftTime

I would like to identify the buff by name or ID, then have it return a number of seconds left on the buff, but I can't seem to make it happen. Thanks for any ideas.

Given a buff named "search_name" --- such as "Enhanced Armor"

	Source code
1	/run for i=1,50 do local buff_name, buff_icon,buff_count, buff_ID, buff_params = UnitBuff("player",i) if buff_name == search_name then Msg(tostring(UnitBuffLeftTime("player", i))) end end

or an ID "Buff_ID" --- such as 500141

	Source code
1	/run for i=1,50 do local buff_name, buff_icon,buff_count, buff_ID,buff_params = UnitBuff("player",i) if buff_ID == search_ID then Msg(tostring(UnitBuffLeftTime("player", i))) end end
