How to convert ASCII to MetaStock?
To convert you data you could use The DownLoader as follows:
Start The DownLoader.
Click Tools | Convert.
Set the Source File Type column to ASCII Text.
Set the Source Directory to the directory where your ASCII file is located.
Type the name of the ASCII file you want to convert, into the Source File Name column. Note: use Wildcard characters to convert multiple ASCII file names. For example *.CSV would convert any ASCII file with a CSV extension.
Set the Destination File Type to MetaStock.
If you are converting into only 1 folder or less than 2000 securities, set the Destination folder to the directory that contains your MetaStock files. For example you might have MetaStock files in 2 folders (C:\MetaStock Data\Stocks and C:\MetaStock Data\Indices)
