Yuki, try this. Just adjust the 20 to suit the maximum length you want
displayed.
This ignores the first 2 characters in fullname()
StrMid( FullName(),2,20);
Cheers,
Graham

Subject: [amibroker] refining FullName() in titles
In order to keep a very small Metastock database ordered the way I
like, I have always prefaced the security name with a 2-digit number:
for example, 12 Fujitsu. (This allows me to make a rare insertion or
deletion of a security, then sort, and still have the issues remain
in my desired listing order.)
When I am using this database in AB (which is often, as this is the
key group of issues that I trade) FullName() returns the entire
string when I call this in a title (of course).
I'm wondering if there is a way to get AB to ignore (not display in a
title) the digits that precede the actual full name. My naming
convention for this database is always xxyA, where xx is two
numerical digits, y is a space, and A begins the actual full name of
the security. If I could get FullName() to somehow ignore xxy, that
would be fantastic. I've heard people say that you can do *anything*
with AFL code. ^_- True?
