Sector systems list

Can you be a bit more specific about what you're asking for? There are certainly ways to do that kind of thing.
(If you use the map program in my sig, you can put them into the map filter to get a 2d* representation, something like:
In this picture everything containing "Ophi" is highlighted in green.)
That's using the output files from edsm, parsed to include only hand-placed systems.
Getting the names of proc-gen systems (e.g. WREGOE AA-A A0 etc.) is doable but more complicated.
*well a 2d representation of the 3d data.

It isn't a map or coordinates I'm looking for nor if it has been explored or not, it's just a basic list of systems within the game subject to a specified search term. As far as I understand EDDB the systems are only those submitted to it and doesn't include systems not visited.
Taking the image in Jackies post, it could be a list of all the system names that begin with "Stock 2 Sector" or "Col 70 Sector", the contents of the systems isn't needed either.
Thank you.

Ok...
There are different layers of star names:
1) Procedurally generated stars within procedurally generated sectors. (e.g. SYREADIAE JX-F C0)
2) Procedurally generated stars within hand-placed sectors. (e.g. STOCK 2 SECTOR AA-A D0)
3) Hand-placed stars. (e.g. HIP 279)
Stock 2 Sector and Col 70 Sector are both hand-placed sectors, which are roughly spherical. When hand-placed sectors overlap, the smaller one takes precedence over the larger one, so the actual shape may be more like a sphere with holes in it.
The system names within a normal cubic proc-gen sector are generated using a formula which starts at the "bottom-west-south" corner. However, because the hand-placed sectors have a spherical or uneven shape, it is not possible to say exactly which names will be present within the sector without checking its precise shape first.
Also, it isn't possible to determine how many systems will be within each particular subsector of any given sector - for instance, the subsector STUEMEAE AA-A B could contain very many star systems, starting at STUEMEAE AA-A B0 and running up to STUEMEAE AA-A Bn where n is something you'd have to find out by checking on the galmap search.
Systems in Col 70 would mostly be unexplored and unknown to edsm - it has been locked for a long time - and it is an enormous sector; offhand I think there would be literally millions of potential system names inside.
