Searching iSeries?

[focus333]

Say I have a series inside my indicator that holds strings. For example:

signal[0] = "red"
signal[1] = "red"
signal[2] = "red"
signal[3] = "blue"
signal[4] = "red"
signal[5] = "green"
....

Is there a method I can use to search the "most recent" blue for example and get the index (3) ? I could not find a method allowing for this.

I'd rather to have to loop though the whole series every time. Is it possible?

Thank you kindly

Hello focus333,

Thank you for your reply.

No simple way to do that unfortunately, you'll have to loop through at least some bars. However, you really only need to loop until you find the first instance.

I'm attaching a simple example script that assigns strings to a series. It then loops through to find the most recent instance of one of them.

Please let us know if we may be of further assistance to you.
