[amibroker] Want to import stored EPF file data

["bj012859" <byronjames@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yes, that is the problem - throughout the file there are two 
different types of data: Q and T types; I assume I just need the T 
type rows but don't know.  I don't want to have to delete all the Q 
rows for example since this is tick data and a lot of it.  I was 
hoping someone was familar with with data file type and had a 
solution.

Thanks,
