[amibroker] Using the XP scheduler to run an AB scan

["polomorabe" <paul.moore@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I was reading an earlier message about running AB from a command line 
using JScript
  http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/amibroker/message/91616 
and I was wondering if I could use this approach to solve a problem I 
have. I live in Europe, which means that I usually do my pre-market 
analysis in the morning before I go to work.

I use AB together with Telechart data. Each morning when I get up, I 
manually update the TC EOD data, and then start up AB and run the AB 
scan. The problem is that on my machine, the TC update and AB scan 
together take about 30 minutes, which means I have to get up much 
earlier to get my analysis done ;<(.

I've already found a way to schedule TC to update its DB. I was 
wondering if it would be possible to automate the AB scan in the same 
way using the XP scheduler, and so save myself the 30 minutes each 
day.

Has anyone done this? I've used DOS command-line scripts before, but 
not JScript. How do I write the script listed in the post mentioned 
above, and then execute it? Can it be integrated into the XP 
scheduler?

Many thanks,
Paul
