New format definition commands in ASCII import

The following new commands are available:

Moreover followin new field definitions are accepted now by $FORMAT command:

User-definable file types and formats

Now AmiBroker can use not only default.format definition file but also other user-specified files. File types, filters and format definition files are specified in import.types file (example is included in the update package). Now user can prepare/modify import.types file with the description of supported ASCII formats and filters to use. The format of import.types file is:

<Descriptive name>|<File filter>|<definition file name>

Note vertical line characters between these three fields. Example import.types file looks as follows:

Default ASCII (*.*)|*.*|default.format
Yahoo's CSV (*.csv)|*.csv|yahoo.format
Metastock ASCII (*.mst)|*.mst|metastock.format
Omega SC ASCII (*.txt)|*.txt|omega.format
S-Files (s*.*)|s*.*|sfile.format
C-Files (c*.*)|c*.*|cfile.format
Sharenet DAT (*.dat)|*.dat|dat.format

If such file exists you will see your types in the "Files of type" combo-box and when you select one - appropriate filter will be used and after selecting some files and clicking OK - importer will use specified ".format" file.

In that way you can define as many text-based data formats as you like and AmiBroker will be able to "understand" them all.

Ticker aliases

Now each ticker can have an alias assigned, so the AmiBroker's built-in importers can recognize that stock by both ticker and alias names. This is useful when you are using two data sources that are using slighty different stock naming convention or if you want to give the stocks more intuitive name while retaining the ability to use importers without problems.
