[amibroker] Conditionally changing the Foreign Symbol to be plotted.

["marketmonk777" <RedEyes777@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I create a number of ATCs for the general market, the Nasdaq, S&P 500,
and the Russell.

In my window I have two charts. The top chart is a line plot of my ATC
that I have selected.  The bottom chart is a foreign plot of either
SP500, RUT, NDX, INDU or whatever I select in the parameters window.

What I would like to do is have some code to recognize which type of
ATC I have selected and plot the appropriate market for it in the
bottom pane.

For example all of my NDX ATCs start with ~NDX.  And all of my SP500
ATCs start with ~SP5.

Is there a way I can extract the first 3 or 4 characters of the
selected symbol and run it through a CASE or IF - THEN branch?

Regards,

MM
