Export Intraday Data to Text File for a large number of symbols

I imported a list of symbols, so that I have a few hundred .scid files.

Now I would like to export these to text files for custom analysis, but I can only see how to do one symbol at a time from the selected chart, using Sierra Chart.

1) Is there are way to export multiple symbols in one batch using Sierra Chart?

If not, it appears that this could be done programmatically, using the info at Home >> (Table of Contents) Managing Symbol Data >> Intraday Data File Format.

2) Is there some existing program available that does this?

Thanks,
Jim

You could use ACSIL and use this particular function:
sc.WriteBarAndStudyDataToFileEx()

But you will need charts open for each of the symbols.

But doesn't an ASCIL have to be manually added to each chart (please bare with me, I am new to Sierra Charts)?

You can add the custom study to one chart and then use the Chart Linking feature among the charts and link the Studies so that the study is automatically applied to other charts:

I finally got around to implementing this, and I was able to use Associated Watch List to open charts for each symbol from an imported list.

However, I can't see how to set the link #'s without manually setting it for each of ~500 charts. Is there a way to set the link # for all charts in a chartbook simultaneously, or perhaps set the link # programmatically?
