What I do not understand
is why one can not do the following in AB?
Have symbol and name in a
text file and then import it into a watch list and then have my E-signal feed
get the data for the symbol it will not work properly?
If I am wrong then worry
but can not get this to work and to me it sounds as if it would be simple.
However I can take out the name and import the symbol into the watch list and I
can get the data from E-signal.
I found the below from
the 2000 newsletter and would think there could be a better simpler way of
doing this after 6 years of updates to AB

this can be modified to suit just adding fullname, like below
/* change this line according to your data file name */
var filename = "industry_data.txt";
var
fso, f, r;
var ForReading = 1;
var AmiBroker;
var fields;
var stock;
/* Create AmiBroker app object */
AmiBroker = new ActiveXObject(
"Broker.Application" );
/* ... and file system object */
fso = new ActiveXObject(
"Scripting.FileSystemObject" );
/* open ASCII file */
f = fso.OpenTextFile( filename, ForReading);
/* read the file line by line */
while ( !f.AtEndOfStream )
{
r =
f.ReadLine();
/* split the
lines using comma as a separator */
fields = r.split(",");
/* add a
ticker - this is safe operation, in case that */
/* ticker already exists, AmiBroker returns
existing one */
stock = AmiBroker.Stocks.Add( fields[ 0 ] );
stock.FullName = fields[ 1 ];
/*stock.IndustryID = parseInt( fields[ 2 ] );*/
}
/* refresh ticker list and windows */
AmiBroker.RefreshAll();

Are you saying there is a script out there
that will do this (add this info) for me? That would be great.

You need to use script from windows to add fullname and other
nformation like industry/sector.

Try right-clicking on the Sym bol, choosing
Information and entering the long name there. You can access it in code with
FullName().
