Hello,
The script here worked fantastic for exporting my data into ASCII.

My goal now is to modify the script so that it only exports data after a certain date, or just data from the last N days. Could someone help me with that?

Thanks!

Hello David,

Welcome to the forums.

1. Inside the loop by Bars and just prior to adding a CSV string to "datalist" (i.e. before line 37), insert this condition:

See sources from the Wiki FAQ on how to define a DateTime in .NET.

2. Modify the loop accordingly (where 200 is your N-days lookback):

Thanks, Eugene.

I must shame-facedly admit that I am very new to WLP and did not realize that the script only acted on the data specified in the data panel, so that helps a lot. In addition to modifying the script, I also noticed that I can just change the date range there to get the data I want.
