Extracting symbol name from Yahoo, how?
I
was bugged by the fact that the current tickers and their names were
hard
to get from Yahoo as well.
If
you are a VB.NET programmer, I wrote something awhile back that pulls
all of
the Yahoo tickers (including the company names, sectors and industries)
into
AB. It does not work flawlessly (some of them end up in the wrong
sector), but a coder with an interest could debug it pretty easily I'm
sure.
I
don't have a use for it anymore, but would be happy to send you the
source
code if you want. I built it with VB.NET 2003. It sucks down the
entire list (6000+, I think) in about five minutes.

Re:
Extracting symbol name from Yahoo, how?
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
