Re: Import multiple files automatically

Hi Gareth, I have another small issue that I can't get my head around: I built up the list of names as follows: 'build up list of names for %s "ask_price_" "ask_size" "bid_price_" "bid_size_ " for !i=1 to !levels %names = %names + %s + @str(!i) + " "...

Re: Import multiple files automatically

Hi Gareth,

thanks a lot for your help, this seems to work perfectly. However, it is a bit of a black box to me and I don't fully understand what EViews is doing here exactly. I can't find any info on WDIR or WCOUNT in the command reference, is there any further information on those commands?
