How do you locate existing study source code? Is there an index somewhere that indicates which "studies#.cpp" file a given study, such as "PivotPoints-Daily", is in?

The link given was OK, but my ACS_Source file location was slightly different. Also, I had to enable and use advanced search options (in Windows 7) to search content inside files to find the specific code. It happened to be within studies8.cpp, FWIW. Notes for the next new user trying to find specific code snippets: I found that my default location for the ACS_Source folder was: C:\SierraChart\SierraChartTransActMA\ACS_Source here's how to modify the Windows search function to search content: http://www.wikihow.com/Make-Windows-7-Search-File-Contents Request for Development: A lookup table (study code parent file vs study code name) would be more convenient than the current lookup process. A future enhancement perhaps? Or, list the studies as separate .cpp files by their name? BTW, I'm a C++ newbie, so if there is a important reason you do not list them separately, I'm unaware of it. |
