Re: How to download all yahoo-indices

Hi Thomas,

I downloaded them all... 50 at a time. :( If I remember correctly 
there were 2153 differant indices. So that takes a little time. But 
wait, there is more. Roughly half of them have no data. Don't ask me 
why. 

So lets say you did all this and thought "hey, I can just use the 
clean database command!" NOOO!... for some strange reason that 
doesn't work with Yahoo's Indices. So after you downloaded a couple 
years worth of data, you manually go thru all 2153 indices and delete 
all the ones that don't have data. Now that will take you a while. 
Now, I'm sure there is a formula to kick out all the ones that don't 
have any data. In fact thought you e-mailed me on how to do it. Sorry 
man, I'm still a rookie at this and was too embarrassed to ask you to 
explain it again.

Ok, here is the crux of the biscuit. I deleted all the indices with 
no data. If someone can explain to me in terms that I can understand, 
I can put this file into the file section. Remember!!! I NEW. This 
will be a challenge! :)
