[amibroker] Re: OLE Analysis Filter by WatchList name?

["Mike" <sfclimbers@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting.

If you don't find a more obvious way, you could have your JScript get at the value by having the OLE object first run a scan on an AFL script like the following (untested, assumes scan on current symbol for last 1 bars):

Buy = Sell = 0;
watchListNum = CategoryFind("My List Name", categoryWatchList);

fh = fopen("c:\\temp\\listnum.txt", "w");

if (fh) {
  fputs("" + watchListNum, fh);
  fclose(fh);
}

Then have your JScript read from the file to get your filter value before running what you really wanted to run in the first place.
