2. in the enter symbols box enter your tickers separated by a comma - click go.
 
3. You'll get a lost of tickers, names, etc.  On the line "View:" there are a number of links:
click the Ticker and Name Link
 
do a mouse down right before the word "Symbol" in the heading of the list and drag it down so that all the tickers and names are selected. release the mouse button. right mouse click ver the hightlighted part of the page and select copy.
 
4. Open up a blank spreadsheet and paste the contents into it.  now save it to a file.
 
if you need a script to load these into your db lemme know.

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
