Hello Steve,

In fact this data could be imported into AmiBroker using its ASCII importer.
No programming skills are required.
The only thing that is needed is appropriate format definition file which should
contain the following commands:
$FORMAT Ticker,Date_YMD,High,Low,Close,Volume
$SKIPLINES 0
$SEPARATOR ,
$DEBUG 1
$AUTOADD 1
$CONT 1
If you data include open price (ticker, date, open, high, low, close, volume)
you can just open ASCII importer and choose "Omega" format from "Files of type" combo.
As for importing multiple files at once:
it is possible to select MULTIPLE files in File dialog by holding CTRL or SHIFT key during
selecting items. All files would be imported than in single pass.

Yes, it is possible but this requires a script (described in 4th issue of AmiBroker tips
newsletter) http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter/04-2000.html

As desribed above - use multiple selection
Thank you for trying AmiBroker.
