Hello,

Yes it IS doable. Check NEWSLETTERS 
http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter

especially 
http://www.amibroker.com/newsletter/02-2001.html

It describes how to write a simple (few lines) script
that allows to import automatically, using AMiBroker's 
OLE interface.

There is a single function "Import" that just imports ASCII files.

BTW: AmiBroker's OLE interface is the workhorse of 
many 3rd party tools released recently, unfortunatelly
general public never really noticed / used the interface directly.
(it is not complicated at all)

Best regards,
Tomasz Janeczko
