I have tried various
constructions to achieve the following, but the code gets complex and has no
good way of detecting end of string.
I would like to take a
series of strings, H1, H2, H3, and create lists of the elements, as
such
H1
= "SPY,500,06/04/2008";
H2
= "DIA,100,09/02/2008";
H3
= "QQQQ,300,08/04/2008";
and turn them into these
three lists
SymList
= "SPY,DIA,"QQQQ";
ShrList
= "500,100,300";
DatList
= "06/04/2008,09/02/2008,08/04/2008";
Hx strings would be hard
coded into the overall afl although one could set up a variety of paramtxt
statements to enter them.
Seems like it would be
somewhat easy (and maybe it is), but I get bogged down in switch/case
statements, or complex if/else statements.
Anyone see a more simple
way to arrange the strings.
My ultimate goal is to have
a list of "holdings" and some simple statistics displayed.
AA window with a Watchlist
seems obvious--yes?--but I need to have multiple positions of the same symbol,
and I do not think you can put multiples of the same symbol in a watchlist--same
symbol with different shares purchased on different dates-- (is there a
way?).
I next tried dynamic
variables, in order to manipulate symbols and their associated price statistics,
but that bombed.
So now I am attempting to
display my list of holdings in a Gfx title statement.
I successfully have it
displayed, but using long strings, like above for the SymList, ShrList, and
DatList. This gets unmanageable when the number of symbols gets large and
you try, by eye, to coordinate the dates and shares.
Thus, I was hoping to list
a three element string reprenting each holding and then rearrage them into long
string lists.
any
ideas?
thanks.
