I use to run a DOS based Parsing program that you could program to do almost anything you wanted to edit text files. I would think there should still be programs that would do that. I used it back in the days I downloaded stock quotes from Prodigy and use Martin's Moore TAS program for stock analysis.
I did a search on Google for: parse text files and found the following type: File Parse extracts and reformats text from text files according to parameters you define. It can convert multi-line records into single-line records and vice-versa. or: http://www.faqts.com/knowledge_base/view.phtml/aid/3590 At 03:57 PM 1/11/2007, you wrote: >--- In [email protected], "optiontrader3290" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >wrote: > > >Dale: > > I thought about that, deleting the problems from the QP2 List, >actually I think you can do it in the LIST file on QP2, but when you >do it you leave a space in the list.
