    why do you need all this type of data?
    all I see is a naked ballyhoo 2.6 miles behind the boat, while I've got 3 nice yellows on just 150 ft behind the boat.
    do you see the analogy?

    I have absolutely no idea what you mean lol, but here's what im trying to do. I'm going to buy a huge set of market data and use this for statistical analysis and backtesting purposes. This would be simple enough but Ninjatrader requires it in a different format for charting. This means that I have to edit each of the 1.5 billion total lines somehow.

    This should work if your file is standard ASCII (date,time,open.high,low,close,volume). But it depends on the source of your data, no guarantees of course.

    Download pitraders converter here: http://pitrading.com/ascii2nt

    Drag-n-drop the file on the converter or from the dos prompt type: ascii2nt 'filename'

    If it works with your data, the converted file will have a NT at the end.

    Good luck and post back if it works or not.
