Help for modifying this delete pending Script needed

Hey Folks,

I found this great script to delete ALL pending orders, no matter which Symbol.
Works great!

I was however trying to figure out how I tell it to delete only the pending oders from the current Symbol (the chart where I place it).
After trying for two hours I still didn't make it.
Well, I'm not a coder, just can read it more or less and sometimes modify it. In this case I couldn't.
It's a shame, especially since I guess it's a very simple mod.
Anybody able to help?

Thanks.
MikeFT

Thaks for the reply,

But doesn't this code mean
If OrderSymbor IS NOT the Current Symbol, continue

Shouldn't it be the other way around?
