There is already a plugin for exporting all data to individual text files
for each ticker in one step operation.
Comes with instructions
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/files/PLUGIN%20DLL/
You just setup a scan in AA
Buy=bhExportAsMetaStock("c:\\AB Data Backup\\Data");
Just make certain there is a directory waiting for it as within the brackets
Data is MS compatible
Ticker,date,O,H,L,C,V
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: [amibroker] Re: Walt: Question on Sharing AB Database (File
Splitter)
OK, I figured it out. When I export from AB to the alldata.csv file I
get the following (opened with notepad):
Formula used:,"Filter = 1; /* all stocks and quotes accepted
*/NumColumns = 5;Column0 = Open;Column1 = High;Column2 = Low;Column3
= Close;Column4 = Volume;Column0Name = "open";Column1Name
= "high";Column2Name = "low";Column3Name = "close";Column4Name
= "volume";Column0Format = 1.4;Column1Format = 1.4;Column2Format =
1.4;Column3Format = 1.4;Column4Format = 1.0;"
Scan/Exploration Results:
Ticker,Date/Time,open,high,low,close,volume,
INSP,05/01/2003,12.3600,13.4500,12.3500,12.8900,1194300

INSP,05/07/2003,11.4000,11.8300,11.4000,11.5900,463400
INSP,05/08/2003,11.5900,11.8100,11.5200,11.5900,357800

INSP,05/12/2003,11.7000,12.0000,11.7000,11.9100,385400
...............................................................
When I remove everything except the lines of data prefixed by the
ticker, you file splitter works perfectly and has created the correct
files.
Questions:
1) How do I get AB to export just the ticker and data (without the
formula)?
2) Since I will be doing this everyday in order to update
this "outside" database, I imagine I will have to repeat the entire
process (historical range to today) and then "overwrite the existing
alldata.csv file (historical range to yesterday) before splitting
with your formula?
3) When I use your splitting formula in Indicator builder, we must
click on apply, then a blank indicator pane opens up on the screen
(no problem) I just delete that pane. I assume this is normal (as the
proper .csv files have been created).
Many thanks Walt,
Jim
