RE: [amibroker] quoted text from variable assignments showing up in interpretation???

<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>thanks, haven't tried it yet, but you've called my attention to what 
looks like one way to do this. I also found EnableTextOutput, which should also 
work.
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff

<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>I had missed the fundamental fact that quoted text, even on the 
right-hand side of an expression, goes to the interpretation window. this is 
deeply strange to me. I can see the idea that simply outputting some text in the 
middle of code causes it to appear in the interpretation. for example, you could 
include the line
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>    Name();
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>...to output the current ticker. still, I'm intuitively mystified that 
text contained within an expression, and not in a statement that itself 
evaluates as text, still shows. it's hard for me to understand why this is 
desirable behavior. it seems more natural that you'd get output only from 
statements that evaluate as text. but I can cope (:-).
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff

<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>also, output only happens in some cases; this line:
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>    IndexPrice = Foreign(IndexTicker, 
"C")
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>...doesn't output the "C". there must be some logic here that escapes me, 
but again, I can cope.
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2> 
<FONT face="Courier New" color=#0000ff 
size=2>anyway, so be it, that's how it is, and I think I understand how to work 
with it.

  I 
  believe you can write the line as this;
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2> 
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2>_N(IndexTicker = "VFINX");
  <FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff 
  size=2> 
  This 
  will stop the printing of the text.

  working on a series of charts with 
    interpretations, it appears that quotedtext from assignments made in the 
    charting code appears in theinterpretation area.for example, the 
    following is used before the '//--Indicator-End&#8212;', sinceit's part of the 
    charting code:---------------IndexTicker = "VFINX";IndexPrice = 
    Foreign(IndexTicker, "C");      [other code 
    that uses the variable IndexTicker]---------------for some 
    reason, the string "VFINX" (no quotes) shows up in theinterpretation. 
    how can I make a string assignment without this 
    happening?thanks,Dave
