The = threw me off.
Also, distinguishing array from number would be beneficial.

Joseph,
Good question. I had selected a parameter to show
return value types in the sample output. The n is a number type returned
by the function. Other types are: s is a string, a is an array, b is
boolean number (True/False) etc., as shown in the template. I
could have selected to output a descriptive name instead, or nothing.
There are a number of variations on a basic theme.

What is the n = stand for?

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 w! ork 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 -- AmiBroker Formula Language
--
Abbreviation for AmiBroker Formula Language
-- See Also: AmiBroker Formula Language
n = Asc( String,
CharacterPosition=0 ) [AB 4.8] -- get ASCII code of character
-- Returns the ASCII code number for a text character
-- Group Tags: AFL,Functions,String manipulation,Type
Conversions
-- Search Tags: ASCII,character,convert,code
n = StrToDateTime(
DateTimeText ) [AB 4.8] -- convert string to datetime
-- Returns datetime number from a text representation of the
Date/Time
-- Group Tags: AFL,Functions,String manipulation,Type
Conversions,Date and Time
! -- Search Tags: datetime,date,time,convert

The rtf file of the whole sample output is also attached here for
