using /target id <spawn>

I want to use this command so I can go back to the correct mob when I'm fighting multiples of a mob with the same name. this command does not seem to work for me and ends up just selecting the closest mob of the same name.

Can you give the full line?

here is an example of the code

/varset v7 $target(name)
:TargetAgain
/target id $v7
/goto :TargetAgain

so this sets v7 equal to a spawn name which for example is "a_shrieker01", the problem is, the /target id $v7 will also target other shriekers even though they are different.

try
/varset v7 $target(id)
:TargetAgain
/target id $v7
/goto :TargetAgain

This sets v7 to the spawn's internal ID (ie. 731) which is what /target id is expecting...
