Hi Herman,
I have a solution using Python not the AFL.
There are a couple of problems you will have to deal with.
1. The IB webpage uses javascript so just grabbing the page won't
work, you need to use something that knows javascript.
2. There are some embedded html characters to translate.
I used links, a text based browser that knows javascript to get the
file and BeautifulSoup to parse it.
www.python.org
www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/
links.twibright.com/
The Python script is below, no guarantees it doesn't have errors.
#!/usr/bin/env python
"""
getIBshortable.py
"""
import os
from BeautifulSoup import BeautifulSoup
cmd = 'links -source
"http://www.interactivebrokers.com/en/trading/ViewShortableStocks.php?cntry=usa&tag=United%20States&ib_entity=llc";
'
shortableStocks = os.popen(cmd)
soup=BeautifulSoup(shortableStocks)
tdList=[t.string for t in soup('td') if t.string != None]
i=iter(tdList)
symbol=i.next()
output="symbol,currency,name\n"
while not symbol.startswith('3IN'): symbol=i.next()
stockList={}
while True:
output+=symbol[:-1]+','
currency=i.next()
output+=currency+','
name=i.next()
output+=name+'\n'
if name.startswith('Sealy Corp'):break
symbol=i.next()
s=output.replace(r' ','
').replace(r'&','&').replace(r'/','/')
file('IBshortable.csv','w').write(s)
