RE: [amibroker] Extracting symbol name from Yahoo, how?

["Perry Lentine" <lentino@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Barry, 

Not sure what you are attempting to do.  But I have the full name from yahoo
in my database.  I can extract it with the following:

Filter=1;
AddTextColumn(FullName(),"FullName         ", 25);
AddTextColumn(Name(),"Ticker",1.0);
SetOption("NoDefaultColumns",1);

Set range to last 1 day and explore.

Hope this helps.

Subject: [amibroker] Extracting symbol name from Yahoo, how?

Given a symbol list is there a way to extract the full name from Yahoo using
a script or Excel function?

I would also like to get other information so I can fill out the information
window but full name would do.

Thanks,
Barry
