    This document provides a script to import stock quote data from a Metastock ASCII file into AmiBroker. The script reads each line of the file, splits it into fields separated by commas, adds the ticker symbol to AmiBroker, parses the date, and adds a new quotation record with the high, low, close, open and volume from the data fields. It notifies the user of progress, refreshes AmiBroker, and completes the import.

    ImportMsASCII( "Import_Test.txt" ); function ImportMsASCII( filename ) { var fso, f, r; var ForReading = 1; var AmiBroker; var date; var quote; var fields; var stock; /* Create AmiBroker app object */ AmiBroker = new ActiveXObject( "Broker.Application" ); /* ... and file system object */ fso = new ActiveXObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" ); /* open ASCII file */ f = fso.OpenTextFile( filename, ForReading); /* skip first line which contains format definition */ f.SkipLine(); /* read the file line by line */ while ( !f.AtEndOfStream ) { r = f.ReadLine(); /* split the lines using comma as a separator */ fields = r.split(","); /* add a ticker - this is safe operation, in case that */ /* ticker already exists, AmiBroker returns existing one */ stock = AmiBroker.Stocks.Add( fields[ 0 ] ); /* notify the user */ WScript.Echo( "Importing " + fields[ 0 ] ); /* parse the date from the text file */ date = new Date( fields[ 2 ] ); /* add a new quotation */ quote = stock.Quotations.Add( date.getVarDate() );

    /* put data into it */ quote.High = parseFloat( fields[ 3 ] ); quote.Low = parseFloat( fields[ 4 ] ); quote.Close = quote.Open = parseFloat( fields[ 5 ] ); quote.Volume = parseInt( fields[ 6 ] ); } /* refresh ticker list and windows */ AmiBroker.RefreshAll(); /* notify the user */ WScript.Echo( "Finished" ); }
