I'm not sure I understand Bill Hardy's method, but I also use TC2000 and do
the export procedure to the folders set up in C:\TCMSData, which seems to be
better than the workaround TC2000 previously had in which data went to
C:\TCV3Data and subsequently into alphabetized subfolders. But because I
have to export to each group folder in TCMSData from TC2000 one at a time (I
have about 10-12 that I do regularly) I have been looking into the
automation programs that were a thread sometime back. The one I have tried
doesn't seem to work, at least the free version of EZMacros from American
Systems. I also downloaded several others but haven't gotten around to
trying them yet; AutoIt, AutoMate, Clockman, MacroScheduler, MacroMania.
If anyone has any further input re comparisons, that would be appreciated.

Subject: RE: TC2000 and Metastock 7.2
I use TC2000, instead of exporting to Metastock, export to TC2000 v3.0, it
will put its
stocks in directories. I.E. - All stocks that begin with A will be in the A
directory, etc. then I
use the downloader to import them to metastock. You have to check the
recurse
subdirectories options in the downloader to import them all. So for
example, if I have a
telechart scan to pull out all stocks with sales growth rates above 50% over
the last 5 years
and call it (top sales rates - for example), I will export that list to a
directory named the same,
then import with the downloader to a directory under metastock named the
same. ( I do a
smart export to delete out tickers not on today's scan and add the new
ones). I then create a
list in explorer to tag all directories A-Z under the scan name and do scans
based on my
indicators after doing a fundamental scan. Clear as mud??? Anyway, it is
still a 3 step
process because I'm not very good with any type of scripting to automate
it.....(1. export to
tc2000 v3, 2.Covert with downloader, 3. do exploration inside Metastock).
The file formats
are a little clunky so it takes about 25-30 minutes for me to do steps 1 and
2, (i usually start
them when I eat dinner). Hope this helps..
