If you want to export (or import) a list of symbols, it is a tedious process to find, select, export, set parameters, choose file, hit ok.
It would be phenomenally useful to be able to invoke QuoteManager from a command line to tell it to export (or import) a symbol for a resolution to (from) a specified file.
Managing data is hard and this would help a lot.
Thanks!

Re: Exporting/importing a list of symbols?
It is now about 10 years later since this original post. Is there any mechanism to import and export market data that doesn't require bringing up charts and modeling code?
This PM story discusses the ideal requirements: http://www.multicharts.com/pm/viewissue ... _no=MC-280
An API to the database would be nice, but even a command line program to do this would be helpful.
For example:
quotemanager --listsymbols
quotemanager --export --symbol ZB --resolution minute --field trade --exchange cbot --source IB --timezone exchange --starttime "11/8/2007 8:00am" --endtime "11/9/2007 8:00am"
quotemanager --import --symbol ZB --resolution minute --field trade --exchange cbot --source IB --timezone exchange --starttime "11/8/2007 8:00am" --endtime "11/9/2007 8:00am"
