Hi Brian,
Thanks a lot for the kind words! I sure am coming froma long way, and thanks to you and to others who helped me I am getting better everyday using Amibroker!
There are two files on Jim website:
1) The database in .zip with all the tickers in the correct categories;
2) The database in .xls with all the tickers listed with categories, name, eps, etc.
I already know how to set the first database correctly with Yahoo, but I need to delete the .OB after the tickers to use the database wuith my real-time provider. So this is why I used the second database with Excel and deleted the .OB. But then, that's where I don't know how to put that information back in place to be sure the tickers will be in the correct industries/markets, etc.
I read in the manual that categoryAddSymbol can add symbols to whatever category I choose, but the problem is still the same: to have a scan of all the tickers going in the category restaurant (as an example) I would have to manually put them in "restaurants", and considering Jim's DB has tons of different categories this would take me forever!
Is there a faster way to get there?
Thanks!
Louis

If it is in Jim's DB then you can get it out, in any category, and
get it back,in any category (via Watchlists).
categoryAddSymbol uses one of the following:
categoryMarket
categoryGroup
categorySector
categoryIndustry
categoryWatchlist
categoryFavorite
categoryIndex
You have come a long way in a short time so you maybe miss a few
points.
Doing it yourself is a tedious business at times but you really learn
your craft that way.
I can't do more now.
I'm getting tired and don't do good work in that state.
I am impressed with your progress.
