Hi Chris,
Thanks for your help.
The problem I have is that... I am not sure how to use the .tls files! In fact, I never used them; instead I would simply use the "Auto-updated quotes" from the "Tools" menu in AB to automatically download the quotes from Amibroker. So, I see in the code that you posted that I need to have the .tls files setted, and I am not sure how to do this.
1) How to take the tickers in my current database and put them in the .tls; 2) How to be sure that the next morning when I will open AB it will open the good database and that the database will contain the new information from the .tls file.
I guess this must be a really simple thing, but I still didn't get it... yet!
Thanks,
Louis

You could try this.. (where big = your database
name). If you have questions about detailing this, then you might want to
do a "site:www.amibroker.com AB.LoadDatabase" search and see what is on the ami
site.
Good luck
/********************Amibroker open to
database***********************/ AB = new
ActiveXObject("Broker.Application"); AB.LoadDatabase("C:\\Program
Files\\Amibroker\\Big"); AB.Visible = true;
/* retrieve automatic analysis object */ AA =
AB.Analysis;
/********************Amiquote retrieve
current***********************/ AQ = new
ActiveXObject("AmiQuote.Document");
AQ.Open("C:\\Program
files\\Amibroker\\amiquote\\Big.tls"); AQ.GetSymbolsFromAmiBroker(); FromDate
= new Date(2006,7,1,0,0,0); /* 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 = 1; // Yahoo Current 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 }

Thanks,
This is what I was looking for...
Unfortunately, I
know nothing (nada, niet, rien) of this language. I don't
use any .tls folder; is it possible to build such script that would
automatically look into AB and update the quotes in the selected
database? Or would it be better to save my current databse in
.tls?
Thanks,
Louis

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?
