I know it's possible to do this cause I have a friend who can but he likes to bug me by not telling how its done.

As most know, you can query the yahoo stocks server to give you history or a current quote and other misc. information in a .csv format file.

do something like this:
http://table.finance.yahoo.com/table...96&ignore=.csv

where of course s=YHOO is the stock symbol. This pulls up the history of the stock.

However, how do you query yahoo to check ALL the stocks at a single time and filter by a query... like specify I want the thing only to return a .csv file of all the stocks that have a volume (amount of trades in a day of that stock) of over 10,000 ...

Does anyone know how to do this? Please help. I have a feeling its just a parameter in the query string.

I don't see any mention of being able to grab all the data for every ticker symbol at once. Is he perhaps just grabbing them one at a time and compiling them?

Go to http://screen.yahoo.com/stocks.html and then set your query (10k volume) -- it wil return a listing of all stocks with that trade volume. Parse that page and then send off your query (with the stock symbols) to the csv generator.

yes, but on that page it still doesnt have ALL the stocks at once, it's inconvenient since its in HTML, and it has limited information compared to the quotes.csv method.

NOTE: i selected display "share" information when i used screen.yahoo.com/stocks.html

anyone know?
