CSV Plugin

Description:

Use local plain-text comma-separated values (CSV) ascii files. Perhaps you already have a collection of files in this format ... end-of-day data managed as a separate concern by some other application. This plugin is further flexible in that it uses user created "rules" to import many different formats. The rule describes the field format of each line of data to import.

General Input Parameters:


Rule Page Parameters:

Use this page to create, edit or delete rules.


Use the buttons on the button bar to create and modify the rule. You create a new rule and insert the field format of the ascii file into the Rule Contents list. The fields in the list should match the fields in the ascii file from top to bottom in the list. Using the above picture as an example; The rule would import a record that had the format of "Date:MMDDYYYYHHMMSS,Open,High,Low,Close,Volume". An actual data record would look something like "12/31/1999 23:59:59,100,101,99,100,999999".
