I can’t give you complete code,
but there is a string find function you should be able to put to work. Here’s
some code to modify:
list = CategoryGetSymbols( categoryIndex,0); //Get a list of
Symbols marked as INDEX
for(i = 0; i < 30; i++) //Search up to 30
Index symbols. NOTE: *COMP* has priority over *IXIC and $NDX* priority over
^NDX
{
tempName = StrExtract(list,i);
if(StrFind(tempName,"tech") code to add to watchlist

search in amibrokoer symbol search dialog
hello
here is a small request which can help in some unique ways.
if i could do wildcard search on stock names i would be great.
say if there are 10 tech companies in my database and all have names ending
with tech eg.
infosystech
wiprotech
patnitech
.....
then if i want to make a watch list only of techs it would be very easy to just
search like
*tech*
asking this since many stocks name has the sector they are in and it becomes
easy to catch them.. atleast to have a quick glance...
also there should be facility to add the search result.. one or many at a time
to some watchlist.
do let me know if there is any alternate way to do this which is equally easy
(more or less)
cheers
rajeev
