POPULAR POST!

Well, I've been on the forums for a little, and there hasn't seemed to be a guide on how to efficiently create manual shop lists. So I've decided to make one.
(There might be an easier way, but I haven't seen any on these forums.)

First, you'll need Notepad++.
After downloading, open it up and make sure you have the TextFX plug-in.
If you don't, go into the plugins manager, and install it from the list of available plugins.

After that, search the database for a group of items that you want to buy from. This is what I searched for:
Posted Image
Yeah, not the best search for a list, but it'll do for purposes of this guide.

So you'll see something like this (depends on what you searched for):
Posted Image
Like the image says, click somewhere around the left of the first image.

Scroll down to the bottom:
Posted Image
Shift click where indicated to select all the items on the page.

Now copy and paste it into Notepad++:
Posted Image

Repeat with how ever many pages you desire (I went up to the 4th page, 400 items total):
Posted Image

Press Ctrl+A to select everything in Notepad++:
Posted Image
Then go to the option specified in the picture to delete all the blank lines.

Afterwards go to this option (Make sure you don't deselect everything; if you do, just press Ctrl+A again):
Posted Image
This sorts all the lines alphabetically, spaces before numbers, numbers before letters.

Time to delete the useless stuff! The pictures are pretty self explanatory.
Posted Image
Posted Image
Be careful if you have items with numbers as the first character (some items like books do).
They're usually pretty noticeable, but you wouldn't want to delete them.

And do the same with the profit:
Posted Image

All done!

Of course, this guide is useless for advanced members.

    Ah, I find a way too for all the stamps. Just go to a site that have all the stamps [sunnyneo], go to the WORD and "remove the format of the text" (I dont know how it is in english). Just select, put in the notepad and erase the blank parts. (:

    Side question for non-Advanced members:
    Do those of you who AB with lists find it more fruitful [than letting the database do its work]?

    This is not a signature.

    Good thing about using list is that you can choose where you want to AB, if you don't have advanced. Downside is you can't sort by profit :\

    Yes you can. If you made your list with the Item Database, you could sort the items by profit in your search, and choose "descending" as your order. Then the most profitable items would be at the top of your list.

    No. The list should be a different item on each line, no commas or numbers.

    I did something similar using Excel (OpenOffice Calc).

    But the problem is when you sort it alphabetically, it ruins the order of decreasing profit, which is really important as you want the AB to prioritize higher profit items.

    Mostly for those without Advanced Membership to AB in the shop they want instead of having the system choose shops for them.

    This is really helpful, but after I do this, the items are listed alphabetically, and not by profit anymore :( +rep still though because it saves a TON of time.

    This is such an amazing method. Makes it almost as easy to make a profit as with Advanced, since you essentially have the same list as the database users, but can choose your shop yourself.

    By the way, there's an ad-hoc method to sort by profit using this method. Copy one page at the time, sort that page, copy the other (less profitable) page and paste it underneath, sort that page (make sure only the text of that page is selected), repeat.

    Wow, I didn't even think of that! If you do less items per page, you still have this quick method and still pretty much get all the most profitable items at the top. Thanks a bunch Crispin :D
