[William Peters <william@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

/* Counts number of symbols in sector 2 (third sector in list) */

function CountSymbolsInSector( listnum )
{ 
   list = CategoryGetSymbols( categorySector, listnum );
   for( i = 0; ( sym = StrExtract( list, i ) ) != ""; i++ );
    
   return i; // return number of symbols
} 

Filter = 1;
symbolcount = CountSymbolsInSector( 2 );

AddColumn( symbolcount, "Number of symbols", 1.0 );
