Data
Hello,After downloading sample ASX file I have created
quickly the format definition file...but during testing I found out that
AmiBroker has a bug in ASCII importer with handlingnames enclosed in
quotation marks. This will be fixed in version 3.30 Beta-2which will be
available tommorow from AmiBroker/Win32 web site.The following example
shows format definition file for ASX data source.Please keep in mind that
only new 3.30 beta-2 version will be able to properlyimport this file.
However, you can try a workaround $FORMAT also given below.Another
solution is to remove all quotation marks from the CSV file by using Find
& Replace functionof a text editor.Best regards,Tomasz
Janeczko# ASX www.StockWatch.com.au import format definition
file## To download this data# simply ftp anonymously to
www.stockwatch.com.au# cd /pub/csv/yyyymm# where yyyy is year andmm
is month#( for June 2000 this will be /pub/csv/200006# and download
appropriate .csv file## AmiBroker 3.25 has a bug in handling names
enclosed with quotation marks# so it needs following format command#
$FORMAT NAME,SKIP,SKIP,SKIP,SKIP,DATE_DMY,OPEN,CLOSE,LOW,HIGH,VOLUME##
but for AmiBroker 3.30 and above correct format command is as
follows$FORMAT
NAME,SKIP,SKIP,DATE_DMY,OPEN,CLOSE,LOW,HIGH,VOLUME$SEPARATOR
,$SKIPLINES 1$AUTOADD 1$DEBUG 1----- Original Message

DataHi Freddie,My current ASX data source is Stockwatch,
though I use Insight Trader (an Oz charting/analysis program). Though I am an
indirectOzEmail customer, I believe it may be available via anonymousftp
from www.stockwatch.com.au after midnight each trading day."cd" to
"pub/csv/<month>" and "get" "<day>.csv", where <month> =
"yyyymm" and <day> = "yyyymmdd".If I remember rightly from the
quick tests I did with unreg version of AmiBroker v3.25 for Windows, the
resultant file will needsome tweaking (append second field to first, and
then skip second and third fields on import. Date format might also need
changing,and quotes
removed).Regards,
Mark-----Original Message-----From: Freddy G
