In a Script is there any way to iterate through a List-of-Symbols?

Basically I would like to just export a small subset of symbols each evening. I have created a watch-list of the Symbols I would like to export,
and have also created a List of Symbols

I have a script that can go through every single Symbol, but I would like to know if there is any way I can limit this script to just the Watch-list or List of Symbols?

As a secondary question, how do you edit the contents of a List of Symbols? I can create a list or delete it, but I cannot find any way to edit what is in an existing list.

Thanks,

Graeme

Hi,

Here is how to get every symbol in a watchlist: (Tools -> Script Editor)

string[] symbols = Watchlist.GetSymbols("name");

It is possible to create and update internal list of symbols (Symbols List), by selecting Symbol -> Symbols View.
