lvgdataexcon is a java application to get nse EOD data, save it in a file named in yyyymmdd.txt format and convert it to metastock format and save it in yyyymmdd.csv format. One should have jre or jdk installed and configured in their pc.
For installation, just unzip the files from LvgDataExCon.zip.it should do as
creating: LvgDataExCon/
creating: LvgDataExCon/lib/
inflating: LvgDataExCon/lib/LvgJavaLib.jar
inflating: LvgDataExCon/lib/swing-layout-1.0.jar
inflating: LvgDataExCon/LvgDataExCon.jar
inflating: LvgDataExCon/lvgdataexcon
extracting: LvgDataExCon/lvgdataexcon.bat
For starting the program in windows, go to the folder with LvgDataExCon and double click on lvgdataexcon.bat or from start menu/run select this file and run it.
In linux first ensure JAVAHOME variable is set to java directory and just run lvgdataexcon.
Or one can run this from command line in windows or linux from LvgDataExCon folder if java is in execution path as
java -jar LvgDataExCon.jar
Program consists of file, nsedata and help menu. File menu has exit menuitem to exit the application. Getandconvert menuitem in nsedata menu will open up an input dialog for entering start date, end date and folder name to save the files. Date should be entered in dd/mm/yyyy format. for date first May 2006 it should be 01/05/2006, neither 1/5/2006, nor 01-05-2006 nor 01.05.2006 nor any of the other combinations. File folder name should have full path ie c:\xyz\ in windows or /home/xyz/ in linux. it will create files like 20060103.txt and 20060103.csv in the folder specified. First one the data file got from nse, renamed to this format for easy handling in future if required and next one is metastock format file which can be used directly in Fcharts and also in Aptistock. but in Apti stock only 9 letter symbol stocks can be seen directly from picker and 10 letter symbol stock is also updated but can't be picked using stock picker side bar. Files in aptistock can be used to see them in best charts as extenal source.
Finally I would like to say that it is my first attempt after learning java in last 3 or 4 months, though I had a little C and C++ experience previously. Hence it is not perfect one. My son helped me in coding messaging and a few other portions. As time goes I would like to improve it and add other features. One can go to http://cgi.tripod.com/lvgandhi/cgi-bin/addfile.pl?invlinks.txt and download the file.
I would like to get comments from members regarding use, additional features and improvement.
