hello,
I want to know how many system there are for "Col 285 Sector"
Is it possible to calculate it?
Thank for your help

How calculate how many systems for "Col 285 Sector"

What did you do to get this?
An EDSM Advanced Search for all systems with names beginning with "Col 285" turns up 122336 systems. Being so close to Sol (it's mostly within the Bubble; nearest Col 285 system to Sol being 50.34 LY, furthest 405.5 LY), I think we can assume this list is essentially complete. There will, however, be a large number of systems within the radius of Col 285 that have a different, non-procedurally-generated name.
It's based on EDSM... But all is not on EDSM

It's close enough to the bubble and well trodden enough that EDSM probably has almost all of it.
no no no... I've Visitedstarcache.dat from EDSM, and a lot is not visited... (So, it's my first question, how can I know how much systems)
You can't. There is no way to get an entire list from the game.
If you want a complete list then use your visited stars cache and filter to only show the unvisited - then visit them so they are in edsm. Simples
Edit: Maybe OP you should say why you want a complete list. Maybe there is another way to accomplish what you you are after

Oh, it's possible to calculate it, of course - to calculate an estimate. It really depends on what precision you need, which directly leads to the most important question: what exactly do you need it for?
If it really is the Discord screenshot above, that you want to scan all the systems in the sphere, then you'd be looking at an endeavour which likely spans multiple years. Suppose you spent one minute per system, which is enough for glancing at the FSS. In that case, if only 25% of the cluster were unvisited, it would take you 508 hours to finish the rest.
If you can find the motivation to see it through, whether alone or with the help of others, it's entirely doable. That's a big if though. Especially since a lot of those will be mass code A dwarf main star systems, with nothing but icy planets around them.

And yet, somehow, he'd find Raxxla.
If it's true...
I want to know an estimation...
Not sure how many times people can say "no you can't generate a list" before you accept that it can't be done.
EDSM only knows about what was reported to it, which is why VSC only shows those as visited. As also mentioned, you'll have to visit all the ones that shows as unvisited to see if they actually ARE unvisited.
