Re: Request for GCANW27

Bonjour / Hello

I would like a checker for the following challenge: to have found a cache per French county starting with the same letter of the alphabet. This means that you must have found at least one cache among the county starting with:
- at least one cache in one among the counties starting with the letter A (Ain, Aisne, Allier, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes, Ardèche, Ardennes, Ariège, Aube, Aude, Aveyron),
- at least one cache among counties starting with the letter B (Bas-Rhin, Bouches-du-Rhône)
- at least one cache among counties starting with the letter C ...
...
- at least one cache in county starting with the letter V

Not all letters of the alphabet are valid. Indeed, this is because there is no county starting with the letters K Q U W X Y Z
See french county list at the bottom for help. I understand that this checker can be a bit challenging

Je souhaite un checker pour le challenge suivant : avoir trouvé une cache par département français commençant par un même lettre de l'alphabet. Cela signifie qu'il faut avoir trouvé au moins une cache parmi les départements commençant par :
- la lettre A (Ain, Aisne, Allier, Alpes-de-Haute-Provence, Alpes-Maritimes, Ardèche, Ardennes, Ariège, Aube, Aude, Aveyron),
- la lettre B (Bas-Rhin, Bouches-du-Rhône)
- la lettre C ...
Toutes les lettres de l'alphabet ne sont pas valables. En effet, il n'y a pas de département commençant par les lettres K Q U W X Y Z

Thank you by advance

Please read the guidelines.

10. Source of Criteria.

Not acceptable: Challenges based on words or letters. Examples: use the first letter of regions of found caches to spell a word, find caches with attributes that begin with a certain letter, find caches in counties with the same name.

Thank you for your answer. I knew for cache name but not for region name

So if I don't speak about first letter of county but I just request to have found 1 cache among groups of counties, it should works ?

Normally I would say no... but I love challenging the reviewers. Mine just start from the point that there must be some reason my challenge should be denied... but, in theory worded correctly, your challenge should be acceptable. Mine would see through that immediately, but maybe yours won't? :)

Test it out and let us know.

Great !
Output looks fine.

Could you separate V and Y please ?

Fixed now.

Thanks. It's perfect for me

Could you create same checker for cache GCAP1E3 ?
I don't need second part in output (with list of cache name)

Thank you by advance

Okay, updated so there is no output at the end, and cloned here:
