Re: HELP with 'seek' -- to Irv Mullins
Irv,
Yes, the files are always comma-delimited ascii, which I download daily from a
number of commodity-price vendors. The
files are NOT discardable, as I maintain a history of daily prices for 10 years
(20 years, in a few cases). Each day's
data is to be parsed out to the appropriate history file, and appended.
I'm sure you're right about EDS being a great tool to use for the purpose, and I
will get there. But, right now, my goal
is to learn Euphoria
thoroughly, before moving on to EDS.
Regards,
Jim Duffy
