direct data download from metastock
There is also a metastock 2 ascii command line utility called MsCmdLineUtils on the net (opensource) which I have successfully used to automatically scan metastock folders, convert to ascii, concatenate into one large file and import into R. You can do all this in R with the use of the "system" and "file.copy" commands. -Alexios

Hi Cedrick, I can use the convert option in metastock downloader. the problem is with number. I have securities organized in 8 different folders with total no > 2000. and every day these securities gets updated with reuters datalink. using the chain metastock (multiple securities in different folders) to csv and csv to r-software could be very cumbersome on a daily basis. i am looking for better way possible. many thanks and regards, krishna ----- Original Message ----- From: "Cedrick W.

You could try exporting the data from Metastock in csv format, then try ?read.csv SNV Krishna wrote:
