automate the export of data

[MM345]

I want to export data to txt files for a number of stocks, and I need to do this weekly. I know NT allows us to export data using the historical data manager, but is there anyway to automate this process with a script? Or can we at least export data for groups of stocks all at once?

It just isn't practical to manually click the buttons for 250 stocks one at a time.
