Looping through groups in a workfile

[fboehlandt]

Hi everyone,

Instead of looping through series in a group, I am trying to loop through all groups in a workfile. Something along the lines of:

for !i = 1 to wf.@groupcount
%n=wf.@groupname(!i)
'do something here with %n
next

Is this possible?

Thanks for your reply

Code: Select all

%grouplist = @wlookup("*", "group") for %n {%grouplist} ... next

Great, thanks very much. I shall give this a try

Hi Gareth,
I still have a problem with implementation:

This works fine:

Code: Select all

%seriesname = @wlookup("*", "series") for %n {%seriesname} next

This, however, returns "Syntax error in FOR %N"

Code: Select all

%grouplist = @wlookup("*", "group") for %n {%grouplist} next

Any thoughts on this?

Thanks

Is your copy of EViews up to date?

[fboehlandt]

Not sure, what version has this increased functionality for @wlookup?

Thanks again

Quick one:

I need to reference the name of the group that is currently selected:

Code: Select all

%grouplist = @wlookup("*", "group") for %n {%grouplist} %string1 = 'here groupname next

Thanks once again
