Simpl...Thank you very much for the quick response.<br /><br />Simply changing those .2 to .4 digits did it like you suggested. I can finally see the prices for all my penny stocks. That's all I really needed! Thanks again so much!<br /><br />About getting more detailed info from yahoo, I am already totally amazed at what you cooked up with your work and I don't think I'll be of any help to you at this point. My bad. If you're not using Conky anymore, may I ask what type of system monitoring tool you're currently using?Q4soldier[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803541356848955053.post-88911959004710268862011-02-16T19:27:22.505-08:002011-02-16T19:27:22.505-08:00You can change "5.2" or "7.2" ...You can change "5.2" or "7.2" to "5.4" and "7.4" then you will have 4 decimal places. However, the source only provides 2 decimal places except Change. (I guess that's why I use ".2" at first place)<br /><br />I don't know if there is any way I can make Yahoo to supply more precise data. I am not going to find the answer, because I am no longer using Conky. If you find any solution or other good sources (via API or feed or CSV, not scrapping), I may help you with those.livibetter[email protected]tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3803541356848955053.post-26343502207941353232011-02-16T10:55:37.050-08:002011-02-16T10:55:37.050-08:00Hey there!

There are plenty other variations of such out there on the net, but this one fits my needs just perfectly.<br /><br />There's one little thing I'd like to ask for though.<br /><br />What would I need to modify in the code to get the share prices with not just 2 decimals, but with four? I'm also dealing with penny stocks and it would be nice to see the actual 0.0004 than just 0.00 for example.<br /><br />Could you help me out with that? Thank you so much in advance!!!! I'll be checking back here frequently.Q4soldier[email protected]
