AW: Question again: how to read metastock file?

["Andreas Grau" <agrau@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Zvi,

yes. After inserting security data, you can command Metalib to sort the
incoming data by date. This would look like this:

Dim Writer As New MLWriter
Writer.OpenDirectory “C:\Test”
Writer.AppendSecurity “TestSymbol”, “TestName”, Daily
Writer.AppendDataRecArray Dat, Time, Op, High, Low, Cl, Volume, Openint
Writer.Sort
Writer.CloseDirectory

If you need to re-sort data, the routines would be:

OpenDirectory, ReadSecurity, DeleteSecurity, AppendSecurity, AppendData,
Sort, CloseDirectory

Hope this helps,

Andreas
