Hi tanewbie ,
As u r not provided the details of your data folders and ms2asc.exe folder I can't create batch file and send it to your mail address .
I hope an example below will help U and any one want to create ascii file from metastock file . U have to change metastock data and ms2asc.exe directory in command line according to your computer data directory.
If
1. your 5 min data > c:\mydata\5min
2. your program ms2asc.exe > c:\mansoor
then for dd/mm/yyyy data
go to start menu > run >
c:\mansoor\ms2asc -m master -f c:\mydata\5min\filename.csv -i c:\mydata\5min -d dd/mm/yyyy -u dd/mm/yyyy
ms2asc [--master=|-m <master-filename>] [--file=|-f <ascii-filename>]
[--indir=|-i <data-directory>] [--printDateFrom=|-d <date>]
[--printDateUpto=|-u <date>]
This will create filename.csv in your metastock folder c:\mydata\5min .
U can also paste this command line in batch file and run the same .
U have to change date and filename (In case u want to label daily file's with different name ) .
