Mark, I put all the source in a tar file on my website for you to use: members.cox.net The scanall.sh script is the main script that is run weekly. If runs a number of scans (mutual fund stock holdings, hedge fund purchases/holdings, index-based scans - piotroski, greenblatt, etc.). Generally, the index scanners (e.g. scangreenblatt.pl) do the following: Open an XML result file For each index passed as an argument call 'getindex.pl' to get a list of stocks in XML associated with the index for each stock in the index run the scan using a scanner (e.g. 'greenblatt.pl'). rank the stocks output the index results to the XML result file Close the XML result file The rank stuff will be found in those index scanners. Other support files translate the xml result file to html files using a template. I suspect what you want to do is to modify the getindex.pl perl script to get a list of stocks & names from a TSX web site (probably prefixed with .TO or something - something to key off of for the rest of the scripts). Then in the scanning scripts (e.g. greenblatt.pl, etc.), you would modify the script to go to a particular web site if the '.TO' extension is seen. Let me know if I can help. Regards, Stew
