[amibroker] Re: Looping or optimizing a set of non sequential numbers?

["ozzyapeman" <zoopfree@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Thanks, Steve. That is a useful idea.

But let's say I had thousands of such numbers. Rather than setting
each number manually to an array item, is there a way to perhaps dump
the numbers into a batch file or something? And then somehow pull from
that file?

As a last resort, I could hand code it. But if there is a way to do it
in a more automated fashion, that would be best, as I anticipate
having to do this many times during different optimizations.
