Paul: Based on your comment, I checked (should have done so before) Symbols|All and found hundreds of blank lines before the first symbol. Deleting them solved the problem. Where those blanks came from will probably remain one of the mysteries of cyberspace.
Many thanks for putting me on the right track.

I am showing ticker names from my database. My suspicision is that you have some rouge tickers that didnt have any names. I suggest you make a backup of the db. and then go ahead and click yes. Note how many times you have clicked yes. There will be a final confirmation message box which should tell you how many tickers are without quotes and how many tickers have not traded since such and such date. they should match your own count. cheers Paul. --- In [email protected], "wavemechanic" <fim...@...> wrote: > > Paul: > > This problem refers to the cleanup script. The "error" that I see is that it does not appear to be looking at the symbols. Before version 5.28.1 when the script ran the symbols flashed by very quickly in the lower left-hand corner but that does not occur now. Also, when a symbol was found that was a candidate to be deleted a dialog box appeared which indicated the symbol and asked if it should be deleted. Now I get the following dialog box which does not contain the symbol: > > > > The script has been running for years without a problem and is attached.

It appears to be running but produces no results. Has anybody else who is using version 5.28.1 had problems with this tool and, if so, did you find a solution? > > > > Bill > > > > > > > ------------------------------------ > > **** IMPORTANT PLEASE READ **** > This group is for the discussion between users only. > This is *NOT* technical support channel. > > TO GET TECHNICAL SUPPORT send an e-mail directly to > SUPPORT {at} amibroker.com > > TO SUBMIT SUGGESTIONS please use FEEDBACK CENTER at > http://www.amibroker.com/feedback/ > (submissions sent via other channels won't be considered) > > For NEW RELEASE ANNOUNCEMENTS and other news always check DEVLOG: > http://www.amibroker.com/devlog/ > > Yahoo!
