need help to sort stock symbol list


Recommended Posts

I have not been able to do this.. I tried script writer but that didn't go very well..

I have a list of stock symbols that I can paste into a text editor (like notepad). I want to sort the symbols (seperated by a space)...

Any help would be appreciated.... I think I would need to use an array, but have little experience with arrays...

Symbols list follows:

USSE SSTP AAPL APC APD ATHN CSCO CFX ED FWLT GDTI GLW GRMN GRWT MDR NOV NXSL OC OSUR PBR PRGN SBLK SXRZF WMT YHOO MSFT XMSR AMZN GOOG CELG COST CPRT EBAY HAL ICE ISRG LRY NHWK OMTR RIMM BIDU ROSE ACI PLT BRS

Typically you would want to use something like a TAB or Comma, but for this spaces will be fine.

I wouldn't even bother copying into notepad... just read from the clipboard with ClipGet, and you'll get that string.

Then you can use StringSplit to create an array of all of the symbols.

How do you want to sort it?

#include <Array.au3>
Global $str = 'USSE SSTP AAPL APC APD ATHN CSCO CFX ED FWLT GDTI GLW GRMN GRWT MDR NOV NXSL OC OSUR PBR PRGN SBLK SXRZF WMT YHOO MSFT XMSR AMZN GOOG CELG COST CPRT EBAY HAL ICE ISRG LRY NHWK OMTR RIMM BIDU ROSE ACI PLT BRS'
Global $str_A = StringSplit($str, ' ')
_ArraySort($str_A)
ConsoleWrite('!' & _ArrayToString($str_A, ' ', 1))

Like Xeno said... _ArraySort($str_A)

OK here is my script that DID NOT work - it displayed symbols unsorted....

#include <Array.au3>

$symbols = ClipGet()

$array = StringSplit($symbols, ' ', 1)

_ArraySort($symbols)

MsgBox(4096, "Test", $symbols)

MsgBox(4096, "Test", _ArrayToString($array, ' ' , 1))

Was it a syntax error? Your code was a little off:

ClipPut(_ArrayToString($array, ' '))
yes it was syntax and I see what I had wrong!!! Job is done correctly now and I thank you and others for help.....
