Tal E,  With that info I cut and pasted into excel, formatted the cell as text and checked word wrap and it got rid of most extra spaces and imported ok.  Thanks for seeing me to completion with this task.  Brian

When it imports my .txt file it only does the top 18 names.  I did not do anything to those symbols after 18.  I would like to be able to just import straight from the .txt file.  Does TC need to have no spaces after a symbol in order to import it?  If so why does it do the first 18?  Also, the spaces are the reason for my challenge, any ideas how I can get rid of them without going symbol by symbol (maybe replace function?)  thanks.

I have recently tried to import a list of 206 stocks from a .txt file which is in column with no other tabs etc.  It show the stock count as 206 on the upper right side of the import window and the list of tickers.  I click on import and it only brings in 18.  I know that some symbols TC does not track but it is a list from Zacks which certainly has at least 180 symbols.  Any ideas?  TIA
