GH Advantage Gold for PICK-3Prev TopicNext Topic
-
I have read that some players use Gail Howard's Advantage Gold software to track their PICK-3 numbers. They create a different game for each of the 3 columns, and track each one separately. But it looks like I cannot import my existing PICK-3 data (which is now in .txt format) into the software - the software is looking for an .slh file. Rather than key in all 5018 numbers manually (or write my own programs), has anybody found a way to import a file into Advantage Gold or perhaps found a different work-around to be able to track PICK-3 with Advantage Gold ? ? ?

I posted this a number of years ago:
I used a program created by GH developer Joe H. called conv32.exe file
This zip file contains all the files necessary to create Pick 3 and Pick 4 .slh files for the GH Smart Luck program.

The Excel file is an older version 2001/2002 with Pennsylvania Pick 3 and Pick 4 games.

Gail Howard Software - Pick 3 & 4
This may have been posted recently.
We know GH Software can't be used for the Pick 3 & Pick 4 Games.
Here's how you can use GH Software for Pick 3 and Pick 4 Digit Games:
1. You will need to know DOS
2. Download this DOS Program conv32.exe from the link below:
Place the conv32.exe it in your c:\GH Folder
3. You will also need Excel and your Pick 3 and/or Pick 4 States Past DrawingsIf you don't have Excel I can create the files for you. You will need to send me your States Pick 3 and Pick 4 Past Drawing file(s)
4. Here is a link to the Excel Pick 3 and Pick 4 file:
GH Pick3 and Pick4 Converter.xls
The 2 Tabs Pick3 and Pick4 contain the Pennsylvania Pick 3 and Pick 4 Midday DrawingsSelect the Tab you want Pick3 or Pick4
Drawings should be in "Ascending" Order meaning the oldest date goes at the top and the most recent date should go down the bottom.
Copy and Paste your Dates and Pick 3 Past Results in Column A and Column B
Column A = Date Format mm/dd/yy
Column B = Pick 3 or Pick 4
Depending on how many drawings you have you will need to "Drag" the formulas down to your last drawing result.
Let's practice using an example:
Click the Pick3 Tab:
The next thing you need to do is select cell range G2 down to J1387. The range should now be highlighted. Right-click your Mouse and select COPY.
Open your Notepad Program (Start> All Programs >Accessories > Notepad)
You should now be in your Notepad Program.
Right-Click your Mouse button and select Paste.
You should now see all the dates and drawings pasted into Notepad.
Next on the Main Menu of Notepad select File> Save As > In the "Save In" Box select C:
Now look in the list of folder/file below and llok for the folder GH. Double Clickthe folder GH.
It should now be in the Save In: box at the top.
In the "File Name" box below remove the *.txt and enter the following: PA3MID
Make sure the box below "Save as Type:" reads "Text Documnets (.txt)
Make sure you save it as a .txt (text file)
Click "Save" Button
Close Notepad program.
We now created a Text file with the Pennsylvania Pick 3 Midday Drawings, named it PA3MID.txt and saved it in the GH (Gail Howard) Folder.
Write down the file name you just created in Notepad PA3MID.txt for the next step.
It will help if you Print the following Instructions!!
I'll be using the PA3MID.txt as an example.
The next thing is to go to the DOS Command Prompt c:\Click Start> Program(All Program)> Accessories > Click the C:\Command Prompt
You should now be in the DOS Screen and have a blinking box next to C:\
Enter the following: CD C:\
You should now see C:\ with a blinking cursor
Next enter the following: CD C:\GH
What you doing is changing the directory to the GH (Gail Howard) Folder
Next Enter the following below: (space) means to hit the space bar and add a space don't type (space)
conv32(space)PA3M.txt(space)PA3M.slh(Space)"Pennsylvania Pick 3 Midday"
Click ENTER
Might take a few seconds but you should see C:\GH on the next line with a blinking cursor.
Enter the following: exit
Click Enter
This will close out the DOS Screen and you should be back to you normal Desktop Scrren.
What this DOS command is doing is converting the PA3M.txt (text file) to a new file that the Gail Howard DOS Program will understand and we named it PA3M.slh
Next Open the GH (Smartluck) Program.
You should be in the Main Menu.
Click the number "1" (Select/Add/Delete Game Histories)
Next use the "Down Arrow" key to scroll down until you see "PA3MID.txt" in the Description column.
Make sure it is highlighted.
Now click your "F3" Key to Modify the File
We want to change the "Game Name"
Highlight the "Game Name" line (you may need to use the Up or Down Arrow Keys)
Change the name PA3MID.txt to Pennsylvania Pick3 Midday
Now click the "F3" Button to Save
You can now use the other Menus to examine the Pennsylvania Pick 3 Midday drawings.
Numbers Beginning with 1 are Position 1,
Numbers Beginning with 2 are Position 2,
Numbers Beginning with 3 are Position 3.
======================================================================================To use the GH Excel Program we have to manipulate the real drawings into a file the GH Software can understand.
Position 1 Digits we are placing a "1" in front of the actual digit
Position 2 Digits we are placing a "2" in front of the actual digit
Position 3 Digits we are placing a "3" in front of the actual digit
So for example:
Pennsylvania Midday Drawing on Thursday was 9 - 2 - 0
Position 1 = 19
Position 2 = 22
Position 3 = 30
Look at the Excel file and scroll down to Cell range H1387:J1387 ("Pick3 Tab")
This is done automatically.
To make this work for your states Pick 3 or Pick 4. You will need to enter the Dates in cell Column "A" (Format mm/dd/yy)
Then enter you Pick 3 numbers in column "B".
Depending on how many drawings you are copying into Column A and Column B you wil need to drag the formulas down to your last entry.
Columns G through J.
Have fun!!!!

Thank you so much, WinSum. This worked beautifully. I did have to play around with the dates in the EXCEL file, because I have a newer version of EXCEL, and also because apparently there was a date bug in at least 1 of the earlier EXCEL versions. But once I massaged the date, and figured out what to copy and past into text file (the alignment was also a bit different), then I was good to go. I appreciate you taking the time to post this for me - this will sure save me a lot of programming effort ! ! !

Try this Excel file in the zip:
https://my.pcloud.com/publink/show?code=XZFtzO7ZCRQeoWndKYHMdw4TLxgSQHlVmNgk
1>Copy and paste your Pick 3 game results starting in cell range B20:D20. Oldest dates at the top. Most current dates at the bottom.
2>Drag the formulas down in cell row F:H
3>Pick 4 drag down the formulas F:I
