I am familiar with the string variable, but I can't figure out the syntax for the if statement. You can't compare two strings in QP2. You are stuck with using an editor to delete all symbols that don't start with A.

I just do a prescreen (like for IssueType, Exchange, and some price and volume requirements). When the scan completes, I search for a stock in the letter range I want, find the beginning of the letter, and manually select (using shifted downcursor) all stocks starting with that letter. Then I use the menu to Copy, then Clear All, then Paste, and save the results as my new one-letter .lst file in the Lists directory. It's a pain. Carolyn S.
