Post From: Need help with Export Bar and Study Data to Text File_Automation

Hi Sierra Support / Everyone,

I need some automation help with regards to the following.

I would be very thankful if anyone can help on this. I am not a coder / programmer so doing it by myself is getting to be a challenge.

Here is what I need help with: I need a Button / Script that could export all the Bar and study data for all Charts within a Chart Book and save each Charts Data as a text file within a specific folder in the Sierra Data folder.

For e.g. In the Chart book I have 4 Charts ==> Monthly, Weekly, RTH and ON. I need the text files for these Charts to be stored in a specific folder e.g. ==> C:\SierraChart\Data\11_SIERRA\ANALYSIS_PREP as four separate text files ==> Monthly.txt, Weekly.txt, RTH.txt, ON.txt

Currently this is what I do:

For my Morning prep, once the Chart book has been updated, I will disconnect the data feed, go on each individual Chart within the Chart book, select “Export Bar and Study Data to Text File” from the Edit Menu and export that Chart data for each individual Chart within the Chart book. I do this for approximately 9 Charts within the Chart book.

The text files are exported to a specific location within the Data Folder of Sierra e.g. ==> C:\SierraChart\Data\11_SIERRA\ANALYSIS_PREP

I would really appreciate it if someone could create a code to do this

Many Thanks,
pd
