[amibroker] adding sector and industry-group info to exising symbols

["john gibb" <jgibb1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I want to ADD sector and industry-group info to existing symbols in a
certain WatchList and I have a comma-delimited text file with the data in
this format:

    ticker, sectorID, groupID

where I have the sector IDs correspond to those in 'Tutorial: Working with
sectors and industries'.

My first-draft .FORMAT file look like:

    $FORMAT TICKER ?? GROUP
    $SEPARATOR ,
    $AUTOADD 0
    $OVERWRITE 1
    $WATCHLIST X             (where X is the number of the target watch
list)
    $NOQUOTES 1

Questions:

    a) in the first line, in order to get the Sector IDs, what should I
replace '??' with?
    b) is my $AUTOADD flag set correctly or should it be '1'?
    c) do the Industry Names in broker.industries like:

            8 Advertising
            1 Aerospace & Defense
            10 Air Courier
            10 Airline

       map to a (perhaps zero-based) numbering system?

thanks,

-john
