Hi,

I would like to search for a term in a string, and then do some actions. Example:


%barclay_list = "AUD CAD"

for %ccy AUD CAD CHF EUR
if @wfind(%barclay_list,%ccy)>0 then
	fetch(d=Barclays) *_{%ccy}
else
	fetch(d=wmreuters) *_{%ccy} 
endif
next

This doesn't work. It never finds hit in the %barclay_list.

From an attempt with using @wkeep(%barclay_list,%ccy)=%ccy I learned that it doesn't really read the %barclay_list at all. Why?

When I do the following it works:

Code: Select all


@wfind("AUD CAD",%ccy)>0

Thanks in advance,
Dagfinn

Looks like it works to me:

Code: Select all


create u 100
%barclay_list = "aud cad"

table a
!i=1

for %ccy aud cad chf eur
	if @wfind(%barclay_list, %ccy) > 0 then
		a(!i,1) = %ccy
		!i=!i+1	
	endif
next

Thanks, and so sorry for sloppiness on my behalf ...

I turned out that my string list was called "%barclay_list_". I have probably changed the name and didn't spot that underscore.
