AmiBroker does not have a way of directly exporting data.
In the file section of my web site, I have an ARexx program which will do
this. Maybe you can rewrite it in a PC scripting language.

You did say "write". AB writes its own updated data files. You want to archive
thousands of text history files? I am not sure how you want to apply this.
Remember that the main reason >I< found for exporting data is to merge data of
two tickers.

You have at least two choices: enter the data manually, file by file; write a
script to import all available files.

I have not seen one yet, but, if Yahoo! has an Aussie site, that would be one
place to start.

By "codes", do you mean tickers or a classification?
I have to ask because I don't see "Categories" or "Settings" in the Amiga
version.
ASX tickers have 6, or less, letters. The main ticker has the least, with the
longer tickers representing secondary listings. You have to determine if you
want to track all tickers or not, because, if I remember correctly, the
secondaries don't trade often, past their initial offering.

That's a start. ;^) (Does your Q4 relate?)
