Hi Angelo
Happy to be of assistance. I use the utility when I create synthetic
data files or for the odd Yahoo data download. Not very often.
To answer your question about the command syntax:
1. I would copy asc2ms.exe to C:\ASCII.
2. "filename.csv" is the Ascii file in the example.
3. "-r updateRecord" updates the record and not appends.
4. "-t" is to transverse folders (your MetaStock data folder has more
than 255 securities). (NOTE - I have never had to use -t before so I
don't know what it does. It is the correct option in terms of the
utility's readme file.)
5. "-o" specifies the output directory.
6. I suggest a backup of your data before you try the next step.
7. The full command is below.
asc2ms.exe -f filename.csv -r updateRecord -t -o c:\MSDATA
Hope this helps.

merged with the historical dates. The added symbols is kind of a mess.
