The line has lost original formatting, there should be one backslash before ‘n’,
as follows:
StrFormat(”,%06.0f,%06.0f,%g,%g,%g,%g,%g,%g\n”,

You can not export to Metastock directly, but you can export to text file and later use Equis Downloader to import text files to Metastock.

Yes that’s true, this code sample was designed to be easy and output was not intended to be re-imported to AmiBroker. There are other ways to export of course, including using file functions as shown in the code below that does what you asked for (exports date in fixed YYMMDD format and times in HHMMSS 24-hour format).

fh = fopen( "DataFor"+Name()+".csv", "w" ); if( fh ) { fputs("Symbol,Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close,OpenInt,Volume\n", fh );


  dn = DateNum();

  tn = TimeNum();

 

  for( i = 0; i < BarCount; i++ )

  {

   Line = Name() +

   StrFormat(",%06.0f,%06.0f,%g,%g,%g,%g,%g,%g\n",

   dn[ i ] % 1000000,

   tn[ i ],

   Open[ i ],

   High[ i ],

   Low[ i ],

   Close[ i ],

   OpenInt[ i ],

   Volume[ i ] );

  

   fputs( Line, fh );

  }

 

  fclose( fh );

}

Buy=Sell=0; // for scan Filter = Status("lastbarinrange"); AddTextColumn("Export done", "Status");

From experience of this if you intend to import this data back into Amibroker, you need to make certain your windows date and time formats are compatible with the AB ascii import formats. eg time to be in 24 hour clock
