I think Charts are $79/mo on posttimedaily.com. Results are cheaper.

With all due respect. I still think the $59/Mo. is way out of line.

I was answering the question.

Where would Thomas be downloading these csv files.

The files are $0.25 ea. the $59 is for the whole data subscription.

Those files at .25 each are not csv files, they are html file.
We can already get those free. We just don't have a way of parsing them.

I've written software to process and import these files and I'm fairly confident that they are .csv files. Yes TSN has .html charts which are free.

TSN Advantage plan:
"For a flat monthly fee of only $59.95, TSN Advantage Plan members are entitled to unlimited Quick Play PP's, unlimited Insider Picks & Power Plays Selection Sheets, and unlimited ProCAPS software datafiles, and exotic result files. In addition, TSN Advantage Plan members receive "Preferred" membership rates on all other TSN products."
Procaps datafiles are PP files in comma-delimited format with file specs provided on the site. So you can do what you want with them, and also use their ProCaps software, naturally.
Exotic results files are comma-delimited files with winners & payoffs, but without full chart info, correct?
I know at least a couple of people that have made massive Access databases that did everything you could want using these files. It is not a bad option...

Yes they are lacking intermediate call positions.

I use these files in addition to Bris charts (yea, I got lucky and by chance chose to import Bris charts instead of Equibase  ) to get the complete results.

I'm interested in pace and speed, so I need internal points of call and beaten lengths. The files you people are speaking of are of no use to me.
Thanks anyway.

Punchsaw, you said earlier that you were willing to pay for such a program.
Then you said everything else was too expensive.
How much would you be willing to pay? And what are you looking for as far as output -- details and format?

Yes everything else is too expensive.
Go to brisnet.com and take a look at a sample of their import chart files.
That is the format and the details that I want.
Unfortunately they are charging $1 a chart for those files.
Sorry, but that is just way out of line.
As far as a parser goes...I'd probably pay $100 to $150 for it.
It does save alot of time.
Take care!

Why do you keep posting these links without checking them?
