If they are in your inventory and you want it to make sure you have one of each, you can put them in a map or array and do
Code: 
 foreach it in ($strings/map) find 1 it [code] 
That will make sure you have one of each and if you don't and have mall buy on, it will buy it for you.

The "easiest" way to put them in a strings array (example: $strings[schem 1, schem 2, etc]) but a less tedious way would be to create a simple matcher, visit this post, and let the matcher pick each one up and then use the "find 1 X" on it.

I used Ye Olde Text Editor to make an ash script that turned each line in the "I want it" file into an "acquire it" command. That was a whole lot faster than debugging a script that read a file. YMMV.

Problem there is that you are acquiring items that cost more than a million meat, so find/acquire/retrieve_item will abort unless you put your autoBuyPriceLimit up crazy-high.

I actually posted an alias that will do that for you automatically in the crimbot botting thread, but here's a repeat.
Code: 
alias crimboschem => ashq foreach it in $items[] if (it.to_string().contains_text("Crimbot schematic") && item_amount(it) < 1 && mall_price(it) < 5000 && mall_price(it) > 0) buy(1, it)
Note that this one will only buy schematics cheaper than 5k. If you want ALL buyable schematics, either put 3 more 0s on the 5k line, or just remove that part entirely. Don't remove the last part though, because there are a few non-mall schematics and you don't want the script to have problems there.

Posthumous TYVM for the help here.

And yes, raze, I did see your alias, I just had a brain fart on the autobuy / price aspect.

It's hell getting old...
