    Export watch list codes?

    Could anyone tell me if it's possible to export a list of watchlist stock codes to a text file please? (From 'Favorites') Thanks! :)

    The easiest(?) way might be to run an exploration which returns all the stocks in the Favourites folder, copy the exploration results to Excel, delete any unwanted information then copy the information as required to your text file or save the worksheet as a .csv

    Can you actually export to Excel though? (or any text file for that matter.)  I can't

    find any way to do it, and favorites.dta is encrypted. Explorer only seems

    to let me save to a Favorites folder :(

    Right click on any security in the explorer report and select copy, then paste this information into Excel, or simply select to save the information in a text file which can be edited however you need.
