Hello,

I would like to write an extension to import a custom .csv file for transactions.
Do you have any sample scripts that I could use to get me started?

Thanks.

Have you had a chance to look through the articles and developer resources on this site? There are sample scripts there that should get you started in familiarizing yourself with our object model, and how to write extensions.

Thanks for the reply.

Yes, I've had a look at the articles and developer resources... but none of them seem to address the topic of creating new transactions read from an import file.

I just wondered if there were any sample scripts (or extensions developed by others) that I could use to give me a head-start for creating a new import script. If not, I'll try starting from scratch.

Nothing specifically that does that, but all the information is there. Creating new transactions objects is as simple as calling Document.CreateTransaction, setting the transaction properties, then calling Ticker.InsertTransaction on the appropriate ticker object. The specific task of importing and parsing the data from the csv file, I will leave up to you.
