OK - Thanks again Ken. I think I will have a look. It may be
worthwhile to spend an hour or 2 setting it up every day if it can automatically
run 16 or 18 hours worth of tests while I am sleeping or working : -

Steve: I
do a lot of repetitive optimizations and wanted to execute just 10 or so
keystrokes and mouseclicks, but like I said, AB crashed. Someone said
they tried the macro.exe program on AB and it worked ok so I will
retest.

I know you are
thinking of DOS batch file operations, but I do not think that is in the cards
for AB, at least not for awhile. I would bet that this macro program
could do what you want, but it would take some effort to set up. There
is a script section wherein you could record the keystrokes and mouseclicks to
do some of your file manipulations, saving, etc. Then go into the script
editor and copy and paste and change file names and thus replicate thru all of
the different files you want to process without having to sit there and record
EVERY keystroke. Of course, this is just speculation on my
part.

Hi Ken,
Thank you very much for your reply. If you dont mind me
asking, how were you planning to use this program with AB? I only ask because
I have never used one of these recorder programs, and I am not sure if it
could do what I had in mind. My idea was that, because the time I have towork
with AB is very limited (about 1 or 2 hours a night, a bit moreon
weekends), it occured to me that I could really improve my productivity
if I could write a script or plug-in that would set up a list of
files for AB to run and then call it to run them, and save each test to a
file. It would work similar to a job control language running a batch
job. That way, I could put my list together every night and run it when Igo
to bed - it could run all night and all the next day, and all the results
would be waiting for me when I get home from work. But, I really dont know if
it would even be possible to do this. What do you think? Thanks
again!
Steve

I downloaded
for trial a "macro" program in which you can record keystrokes,
mousemovements, mouseclicks, etc. It is claimed to work in any program
and seems to work fine with programs like Excel, Word, etc. When I
tried to record mouseclicks and movements within AB, AB
crashed.
<SPAN

Oh,
well. Maybe some other macro program would work within AB but I have
not tried it.

The web site
of the macro program is

batch testing?
Hi everyone, especially all programming gurus
: - )
I was just curious if, by using a script, .dll, or whatever, it
would be possible to write something like a macro to have AB do
testing in "batch mode"?
For example, read File A, perform the backtest in that
file on Watchlist 1, write results to a CSV file. When that is done,
read File B and perform the exploration there on Group 3, write those
results to another file, etc...Is it possible? Thanks very
much!
