For a starter you can try this.
1) Look at the code below.
// Show First N Characters Of The Ticker
Filter = 1;
c_1 = StrLen(Name());
// show last N characters (one-based)
c_2 = StrRight(Name(), 8);
// show all characters less N (one-based)
c_3 = StrLeft(Name(), c_1 - 8);
AddColumn(c_1,
I remember that in earlier versions of AB there were some problems with ASCii
Importer and Alias field. I think you needed Close in your data file: Ticker,
Date, Alias, Close. I'm not sure if this has been fixed.

Allan, to import Aliases make sure that your ASCii Importer's Format Definition
File has the following lines:
$AUTOADD 1
$OVERWRITE 1

Thanks for your ideas guys !
I've successfully imported items into the Alias field using the ASCII
importer. The only issue that I have is that I think the ALIAS field length
is shorter than the Fullname or name field, so some of the long futures
symbols for IB wouldn't fit.
