Yes it is possible to do this. You use the GetSymbolname and concatenate
the path name. As I have explained in previous issues of TS Express, you
must be sure the symbol exists in the DialData DataManager (this is true of
CSI and Metastock data). ASCII data symbols do not have to exist in the
DataManager. In the next issue of TS Express, I will be providing a user
function that does this automatically. In addition it strips out any
illegal DOS characters that are sometimes used in symbol names. Those might
include spaces, periods, or slashes. Then you can use this function with
your system or indicator and run the ChartScanner and print results to
different .TXT files identified by the symbol name, all done automatically.
