How to find a specific campaign?

[thisisvlad]

If i wanted to edit a specific campaign, how would i go about doing
that?

from what i can tell, the selector can only pull campaigns by id.
unfortunately, the adwords UI doesnt show the campaign id anywhere,
only the name, right?

so, as far as i can tell, the only way to edit the campaign would be
to get the campaign name from the UI, then using the API use the
selector to grab every single campaign, loop through all of them
checking each one until you find the one with the campaign name you
are looking for.  is that the case?  there must be an easier way, no?

thanks!

why can a campaign not be named the same as a a deleted campaign?

[thisisvlad]

I added a campaign using the api, and then deleted it.  Later, i tried
to add this campaign again, but got a duplicate campaign name error.
Shouldn't i be able to add a new campaign with this name if the old
one has been deleted?  Down the line, if i have many deleted
campaigns, how will i be able to tell find which campaign names i can
use and which ones i cannot?

thanks!
