[amibroker] Re: Data import automation - Is this doable ?

["salil_gangal" <salil_gangal@xxxxxxxxx>]

Tomasz,

Excellent solution !  I guess this serves my requirement exactly as I 
wanted.  So it is as simple as ===>

-----------
try
{
    AmiBroker.Import( 0, filename, "prnn.format" );
}
catch( e )
{
   return false;
}
AmiBroker.RefreshAll();
return true;
-----------

Regards,
- Salil V Gangal
