[amibroker] Determining lowest # of bars in watchlist

["levibreidenbach" <levib1@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I am trying to determine the # of bars each symbol has.  Say I have a watch list with 5 symbols (A,B,C,D, and E)  If each symbol has the following number of bars (12, 45, 66, 48, 223), how do I get the number 12 (the least) into a variable.  I have tried the following:

Listnum = 64;
List = GetCategorySymbols( categoryWatchlist, Listnum );

x = 10^6;

for ( i = 0; (sym = StrExtract( List, i ) ) != ""; i++ )
{

SetForeign( sym);
y = BarCount;
x = IIF( y < x, y, x );
RestorePriceArrays();

}

AddColumn( x, "Min Number Bars", 1.0 );

Whenever I run exploration it gives barcount for current symbol, not the smallest barcount of symbols in watchlist.

Thanks

Levi
