I should have been more specific possibly.
Game 1 any A Eco code
Game 2 any B Eco code
Game 3 any C Eco code
It was quick I hope that file can be modified to accomplish my request.
Many Thanks.
Edit:
I tried the E1 switch and all it did was jumble all the A's to the top of the pgn.
I thought I also need this tool to my test sets, so I have done a python script together with pgn-extract to do this. Install python and rename your original pgn file to src.pgn. The script also uses system cmd and tested to work in windows 7. Note there is a sample src.pgn in the download file as a sample. Also pgn-extract-17-14 is already included.
found src.pgn !!

Wow,
I'm getting an overwhelming amout of help with this from so many people.
Ferdinand thanks for the creation of this tool on my behalf, it will be a nice addition to my toolbox.
I did what you instructed and installed python3.4.2. I put your package in its own directory. When I click on the.py file nothing happens, I thought it would be have like a batch file but it did not.
What am I doing wrong? Do I have to put it all into the Python directory?

It should have worked like that (double-clicking) but anyway, try to right-click the extract_games.py, then Edit with IDLE, then click the run menu then run module.
I have tested here that script in python 3.4.1., I also have 2.7.2 and it worked also.

I have tested here that script in python 3.4.1.
I have all the items in the PGN Extract directory plus a copy of extract_games.py in the Python\Tools\Scripts directory also.
When I right click the file it opens in notepad and the is no IDLE option and also no run menu.
I hate to sound stupid but I know nothing about this tool so need to be led step by step, if you choose to continue to help me.
I Got it !! I had to right click and choose to open it with Python it is running now.
This tool can handle an unlimited amout of games in the pgn. This opens up ideas for huge books that could be made sequentially and 5-10-15,000 games in size for ultra fast games.
I can't thank everyone enough for all their help. I will be sure to mention everyone when posting my tests to give proper credit where it is due.
Here I created some 10,000 game 2move,4move,6move and 8move pgn, all in perfect ECO order.
ECO contents;
A=2000
B=2000
C=2000
D=2000
E=2000
So equal amounts of all ECO codes. Also included is Norm Pollock's provided pgn (5000 games) but not all equal amounts of A,B,C,D,and E codes, but still sorted in perfect order.
I am hoping you can help me. I have a new win 10 computer and your tool here is no longer sorting the pgn.
It creates the A,B,C,D,E pgn in this directory:
C:\Users\Paul-PC\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files (x86)\Chess PGN Tools\Ferdinand PGN Sort
But your tool is here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Chess PGN Tools\Ferdinand PGN Sort
It fails to create the results.pgn final result in any directory. Is it a Windows 10 problem?
Thanks
I have been working on a direct tool that will merge pgn files.
Right now it only merges 2 files, 1 game from each, repeatedly. Hopefully I will be able to increase that number, but that will take awhile, if at all.
