RE: [amibroker] Database specification - command line? xx.js listing

["J. Biran" <jbiran@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I have seen no answer to my question below so far. 

I am a novice when it comes to scripting especially Java. 
I am assuming that once I create this script xx.js 
just double clicking on it will launch AB with the proper 
database/symbol open. 

Now, all I would like to know is: does anything else except 
the path to database and ticker symbol need customizing?

Do you know the answer?

Regards,
Joseph Biran

So it might be like this (xx.js):
NOTE that I have no experience in windows scripts nor have not checked
this 
code.

=========
/* GB: The path to database */
DataDir  = "G:\\Amibroker\\Data\\Parkiet_EOD";
/* GB: The ticker to check */
ChkTicker = "TPS";

/* Create AmiBroker app object */
AmiBroker = new ActiveXObject( "Broker.Application" );
/* ... and file system object */
FileSys = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
WshShell = new ActiveXObject( "WScript.Shell" );

function IsValidDatabase()
{
	AmiBroker.SaveDatabase( );
	AmiBroker.LoadDatabase( DataDir );
	if( AmiBroker.Stocks.Count > 0 )
	{
		try
		{
			return AmiBroker.Stocks( ChkTicker ).Ticker ==
ChkTicker;
		}
		catch( e )
		{
			WScript.echo("The database currently loaded
into AmiBroker does not have " 
+ ChkTicker + "\nSo I guess this is not correct database.\nUpdate
failed.");
		}
	}
	return false;
}

function Main()
{
	bOK = true;
	if( ! IsValidDatabase() ) return;
}

Main();
