This is not common sequences, so it would be nice to be able to trigger more than one sequence as I assume each might easily take 5-10 hours

[EdwardPiwowar]

Theoretically, you could load a file with sequences from the command line. But implementing this complicates the inner loops too much for me. I think you can solve this problem by running several instances of BBA. BBA doesn't seem to use too many computer resources.

[ADavidBailey]

This sounds like a Dealer Code challenge. I can't see how such code would be useful for human practice. It will probably take separate code for each desired sequence. Pick a couple and I'll give it a try.

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I will probably just let BBA generate 10 (or even 100) million hands and just save it in .ben format and then filter those deals.

[ADavidBailey]

Smolen.txt in bba-summary has 62 hits with this: 1N-P-2C=1=-P-2D-P-3[HS]=2=-P-.*4N

[ADavidBailey]

You might be able to run @Rick-Wilson filter.script. Take a look at Rick's makeFiltered.cmd

[EdwardPiwowar]

It's good that there are many possibilities:) I'll add something from myself, next BBA will limit the sequence search to the open room and will stop non-matching auctions, which will speed up the search ~5 times. Requires checking if something is broken. Test version: BBA.exe.zip

[ThorvaldAagaard]

I am digging more in this and it is not that simple, so for now I will start recording the deals, that cause me problems and then add those to the training data.

[ADavidBailey]

@Rick-Wilson and I thank you for adding the {}!!
