Hi all, I have a EL script that grabs time and price data from some drawing objects and prints them to the print log so I can grab the data for a spreadsheet.

Currently it only prints date and price, but there is are variables "xtm" "ytm" and "ztm" that should grab time, but I can't figure out how to print it. The script uses "formatdate" to print each item, both dates and prices.

Here is the code that prints the output to the log. I can provide more of the code if needed.

Once print("Triangle_Number ", "Xdate ", "Xprice ", "Ydate ", "Yprice ", "Zdate ", "Zprice ");
print(count, " ", //Triangle number
formatdate("MMddyyyy", xdt[lnum]), //xdate
formatdate("MMddyyyy", xpt[lnum]), " ", //xprice
formatdate("MMddyyyy", ydt[tnum]), //ydate
formatdate("MMddyyyy", ypt[tnum]), " ", //yprice
formatdate("MMddyyyy", zdt[lnum]), //Zdate
formatdate("MMddyyyy", zpt[lnum]), " ",//Zprice

My suggestion is to see TradeStation Forum topic# 156229 regarding StreamWriter.

powder,

what is the time format you are storing in "xtm" "ytm" and "ztm"? What is the rational for using formatdate to format price data for example?

Regards,

ABCTG

Do you have the code that makes the drawing objects in the first place? If so, couldn't you make some time variables in that code, and combine that code for making drawing objects with your new EL script that grabs price data?
