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

["Barry Scarborough" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Perry, 

Thanks for the reply. Actually I am trying to do just the opposite. 
I have a bunch of symbols in my AB database that have no names. I am 
looking for a way to get the full names using the symbols off the 
Yahoo site. There are so many that it would not be practical to do 
this manually. so, I want to do this with a program. 

Cheers,
Barry
