- // You may edit it as needed if you choose to change the Site used,

- // This method of specifying and decoding Web Pages has been chosen to make it

- // Some users may not wish to get into this level of detail, and others may find

- // daily downloads, or just to keep up with changes.

- // If you do not wish modify these files, pre-defined files and updates may become

- // Numeric Keyword Identifiers:

- // the next entry must define the download method.
- // the entry will be either "by_page" or "by_quote"
- // "by_page" means the page inherently defines the quote information which will be received.
- // these are usually index pages which are predefined.
-
- // "by_quote" means the quote requests will be appended from the .qtl file automatically
-
- by_page
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // Optionally, enter the number of quotes per page this URL supports
- // the default will be 10, which for now, will be the maximum allowable
-
- //NumQuotesPerPage=10
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // the next entry tells MAWIN what delimeter character to add between appended quote symbols
-
- // for example:
- // www2.merrill-lynch.ml.com/htbin/indlink?tick=dis,hd,xrx,spq
- // could be a valid request for this page, and the delimeter ',' is used
- // other sites may use '+' or other characters as a delimeter
-
- //+
-
- // (to determine what delimeter is used, bring up the page using your Web Browser,
- // request your stock quotes, and observe the delimeter used...usually shown in the
- // top text field of your Browser, as a part of the URL.)
-
- // if the method is "by_page", enter nothing here; MAWIN will skip this field
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // next, tell MAWIN what character string to look for as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
- // if you decide to customize your own download site, you can pick this string by first bringing
- // up the site using a Web Browser, and use "file save" to save the .htm image of the page.
- // then, examine the .htm file using any good text editor, such as WordPad, or Notepad.
- // first look for a string which will be used as a trigger to begin looking for quotes.
- // for this page, there are two types of quotes. The first trigger phrase is:
-
- //StartTrigger=None
- GroupTrigger=------
- CorrelateBy=Symbol // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile
- //CorrelateBy=Order // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile
- //CorrelateBy=Co_Name // specify how to correlate quote to quotefile
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // next, enter the trigger string which indicates the start of a quote
- // for this type, it is:
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // next, enter the trigger string which indicates the start of a quote
- // unless otherwise indicated, this will be required to start the line
- // for this type, it is:
-
- //TriggerStringStart=Anywhere
- TriggerStringStart=Beginning // default
- TriggerString=None
- //<TR><TD>

- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // MAWIN will automatically find quote data fields as specified by format keywords herein:
- // The keywords which may be used are:
-
- // Numeric Keyword Identifiers:
- // Hi, Low, Bid, Ask, Open, Close, Prev, Change, Volume, Date, PE_Ratio, Dividend, Earnings, and Temp
- // "Temp" will be available to be used to store/handle throwaway numerics between quote data
- // "Temp" may be used multiple times
-
- // Textual Keyword Identifiers:
- // Symbol, Co_name, Time
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // for this file/site, the parsing commands are:
-
- 1 // lines per quote
-
- // reduce # of resulting spaces in line to keep line reasonably short
- // (keep minumum of 3 spaces between fields....no more are needed)
- ReplaceAll=" " with " "
- ReplaceAll="'" with ""
-
- //AutoDate // will search for date field and remove before processing quote
- NoDate // Do Not look for Date field (none or manual specify)
-
- Symbol 2 Co_name Close Hi Low Volume
- //*C Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp Temp
-
- // up to 20 identifier types per quote may be specified
- // modifiers may be needed, to make adjustments of scale, such as this case where volume is
- // quoted in 1000's of shares, and must be adjusted to shares.
- // supported modifiers are '*' and '/'
-
- //Volume * 1000
-
- //---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- // for this page, there are several types of quotes.
- // The next trigger phrase and associated commands are:

- //TriggerStringStart=Beginning // default
- //<TR><TD>
