Subject: Re: [amibroker] AmiBroker AFL Glossary project --LIFT OFF
Hello,
I have uploaded to the AFL Library a program called
AF_Glossary_Generator (yes a typo in the name) that takes another file uploaded
called AFL_Glossary_1 and generates parameter selectable formatted
TXT or RTF files for this project. It took me a couple of hours to make a
database file for all the string manipulation functions, and forever
to make the program that spit out formatted documents. Creating the files for
both forced me to refine the database specification a bit further.
Please download them both and try them out. You have
to create a directory called AFL_Glossary in your main AmiBroker folder and put
the file named AFL_Glossary_1.txt into it. Rename the file to strip
off the .afl and make sure it ends in .txt. The output files will be
written to the same folder. On a PC, the .txt and .rtf files read fine in
WordPad, but the links don't work in that program. They do work in Word.
In the Mac, all formats work fine in TextEdit program.
Please download the program and data and give me some
feedback. Sorry there are not a lot of instructions, but you just select
parameters, and click on the Convert Database button to get something written
out. You can try out all kinds of different formats.
Next, we need volunteers to write small sections of the
database to make headway. If you make another file
called AFL_Glossary_2.txt, etc., it will combine them into one database
for outputs.
PS. here is a sample of one possible output:
AFL

CharacterPosition=0 ) [AB 4.8] -- get ASCII code of character

n = StrToDateTime(
