[amibroker] ASCII import of MARKET field as text?



PureBytes Links

Trading Reference Links

Does anybody know of a way to let the ASCII importer read the MARKET 
field (as part of the $FORMAT command) as text instead of numbers? 
Point of course is that my typical .csv file has a text field that 
corresponds to my (renamed) markets and a smooth import would assign 
stocks automatically to the right market. As far as I can see, the 
importer only responds to Market ID NUMBERS, even if the the Market 
has been renamed.
I noted the AFL MARKETID function that can return the market name 
(text) instead of number, but I can't figure out how to connect this 
to the ASCII importer.  	

PS
Same Q for Groups and Industries, but a Market solution will probably 
solve for those as well. Thanks in advance!
