[amibroker] Re: Cleanup Australian database.

["gp_sydney" <gp.investment@xxxxxxxxx>]

You could write a small piece of AFL for a scan and run it over all
symbols, adding all with 6 characters to a watchlist. Then go to the
Organise Symbols section and delete everything in the resulting watchlist.

For the scan, something like:

if (strlen(Name()) == 6)
    CategoryAddSymbol("", categoryWatchlist, 1); // For watchlist 1
Buy=0; // So scan will run
Sell=0;

Obviously choose an empty watchlist before running the scan.

An alternative would be to write a script similar to the cleanup
script. That would be a bit easier to use if you wanted to do it
regularly.
