What's the easiest way to see if a symbols with Name "xyz" exists? Was trying to get Symbols.GetSymbols("filter","category") to run or Array.Exists(syms , element => element == "xyz") but no success..

Only by looping through all Symbols.GetSymbols()?

Best Answer

There is a "Symbols.GetSymbol" function that returns null if the symbol doesn't exist.
