can NT automatically import data?

[clearpicks]

I use another software to export some intraday data and save it in a txt file everyday then import it to ninjatrader. My question is whether it is possible to write a ninjascript to automate such process without going through Tools-->Historical Data-->Import menu as instructed by http://www.ninjatrader-support.com/H...DataDownloader? Is it possible to write a ninjascript and read the text file and inject data into the database directly?

Clearpicks,

This doesn't answer your question, but if you have all of your files to import in one folder and select all files (CTRL-A) via the import data box, NT will parse through all files. This is faster than selecting one-by-one.

Hope this makes things easier for you.
