Yuki had asked in "Re: [amibroker]
amiquote lack of control" now Louis has asked in "Is
it possible to run Amiquote automatically". Here is how to get Amiquote to
run by itself from "outside" of Amibroker.
Amibroker and its related programs are easy to make
work from other programs, like DOS boxes, or by double clicking in
windows.
2) Now, here's some code to try (copy this into
notepad).
AQ = new
ActiveXObject("AmiQuote.Document");
AQ.Open("C:\\mysymbols.tls");
FromDate = new Date(1995,5,1,0,0,0);
/*
year, month-1, day, hour, min, sec (required by JScript date constructor)
*/
ToDate = new Date; // current time
/* getVarDate is
required to convert from JScript Date to OLE-automation date */
AQ.From =
FromDate.getVarDate();
AQ.To = ToDate.getVarDate();
AQ.AutoImport =
true; // import automatically
AQ.Source = 0; // Yahoo
Historical
AQ.Download(); // starts download
// wait until download and import is
finished
while( AQ.DownloadInProgress ||
AQ.ImportInProgress )
{
WScript.sleep(5000); //
wait 5 seconds before querying status again
}
WScript.echo("Download
and import complete");
3) Keep in mind, that you have to use notepad to
create this. And call it, yuki.js and then save it. Then, double
click yuki.js and it'll run a bunch of stuff in amiquote
automatically.
4) If you are interested, you can use "Scheduled
Tasks" to run yuki.js at scheduled times (See ramvilas 's email from
5/22/08)

Is there anything for "normal" people? I mean people who look at
the
link you have provided and say, "Gee, that looks like it should
be
useful, somehow, but what now?" People who think OLE is something
you
shout in Spain, at a bullfight?
