Basic Sucsessive Numbers Question

[LottoTrout]

Question:

How does one filter a package so that only a single set of 2 successive numbers remains..?

eg;
----------------------------
1-3-17-18-33-42
5-8-21-35-36-45
14-20-21-30-33-49
----------------------------

I'm sure this is a "no-brainer" but I'm having a mind-cramp here...

Thanks in advance.

Hello LottoTrout. It's been awhile since I have worked around with EL, but I think what you are looking for is in FILTERS>Successive Numbers. I think you choose the 'pairs' and enter 1, then choose the 'leave' button. Then you filter. I think that's how it's done. I'm not in a position to actually log on and look because I'm here at work. Hope this helps. If I'm wrong, someone can correct me

Thanks for your reply:

Tried that with the following (sample) results;

----------------------------
1-3-17-18-33-34
5-6-21-35-36-45
14-20-21-30-33-49
----------------------------

No joy (sigh)...

LottoTrout,

The Leave function in the Successive Numbers filter doesn't work correctly.

To leave in the package only the tickets with one set of succesive numbers you have to remove the tickets with 2 and 3 sets of successive numbers. Use Remove funtion.

Select: Two succesive numbers, Count 3, Remove, Click OK. Then select Two succesive numbers, Count 2, Remove, Click OK. Only the tickets with 1 set of 2 successive numbers will remain in the package as well as the tickets with 3 or more successive numbers and those with no successive numbers.
