Hello,After downloading sample ASX file I have 
created quickly the format definition file...but during testing I found 
out that AmiBroker has a bug in ASCII importer with handlingnames enclosed 
in quotation marks. This will be fixed in version 3.30 Beta-2which will be 
available tommorow from AmiBroker/Win32 web site.The following example 
shows format definition file for ASX data source.Please keep in mind that 
only new 3.30 beta-2 version will be able to properlyimport this file. 
However, you can try a workaround $FORMAT also given below.Another 
solution is to remove all quotation marks from the CSV file by using Find 
& Replace functionof a text editor.Best regards,Tomasz 
Janeczko# ASX www.StockWatch.com.au import format definition 
file## To download this data# simply ftp anonymously to 
www.stockwatch.com.au# cd /pub/csv/yyyymm# where yyyy is year andmm 
is month#( for June 2000 this will be /pub/csv/200006# and download 
appropriate .csv file## AmiBroker 3.25 has a bug in handling names 
enclosed with quotation marks# so it needs following format command# 
$FORMAT NAME,SKIP,SKIP,SKIP,SKIP,DATE_DMY,OPEN,CLOSE,LOW,HIGH,VOLUME## 
but for AmiBroker 3.30 and above correct format command is as 
follows$FORMAT 
NAME,SKIP,SKIP,DATE_DMY,OPEN,CLOSE,LOW,HIGH,VOLUME$SEPARATOR 
,$SKIPLINES 1$AUTOADD 1$DEBUG 1----- Original Message

DataHi Freddie,My current ASX data source is Stockwatch, 
though I use Insight Trader (an Oz charting/analysis program). Though I am an 
indirectOzEmail customer, I believe it may be available via anonymousftp 
from www.stockwatch.com.au after midnight each trading day."cd" to 
"pub/csv/<month>" and "get" "<day>.csv", where <month> = 
"yyyymm" and <day> = "yyyymmdd".If I remember rightly from the 
quick tests I did with unreg version of AmiBroker v3.25 for Windows, the 
resultant file will needsome tweaking (append second field to first, and 
then skip second and third fields on import. Date format might also need 
changing,and quotes 
removed).Regards,
