The truth is that I directed you to the sample code of ASCII
plugin that is included in the ADK (AmiBroker developer kit).
A sample code would requires some tweaking for your
particular data format but this is relatively easy.
If you are not a programmer you may ask the beginner adept
of C++ to make some modifications for you.
As far as I remember I also wrote that I will expand the sample
or provide pre-built plugin some day.
I think it is much better answer that you could get from other vendors.

Hmm... everything requires some level of competence.
And... does the fact that the dll was kindly provided by Stephane Carrasset
change anything ? Does it matter which hands wrote it ?
I think it is great that we have some 3rd party plugins and
I see no problem in using them.

How about paying the programmer to code for you?

Do you expect me to write codes / formulas for everyone who
can not program ?
Do you know what is the average fee for custom programming ?
I will give you some guidance. Equis for example charges (as far as I know)
$60 per hour of custom formula programming. C++ programming is more expensive.
Do you know how much time is required to code the data plugin?
I will give you some guidance too: from 1-2 days (very simple EOD plugins) upto one month
(real time plugins). So the cost of programming such thing starts from 1..2 * 8h * $60 = $480...$960
and ends at $14'000.
This is one of the reasons why I simply can not afford writing dedicated plugin for
one person who does not know programming.
I can implement "inside free upgrade/support" such things only if
- there is significant number of already registered users who would use it (absolute minimum 20 people)
or
- given feature would bring significant number of new registrations (again 20 people minimum)
Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
