Is there anywhere to download a list of industry groups, along with
their stock symbols? I'm a software developer and want to do some data
studies but I need the lot in a database. I don't mind paying a
subscription if I have to. IBD has a pdf file of all the groups (to
purchase) but its not editable/copyable/breakable/legal.
TIA for any hints!

Exactly what industry groups do you think you want? There are a
number of companies with their own ideas of what constitutes suitable
industry groups and their makeup.

Doesn't matter that much - IBD's would be prefered.

http://biz.yahoo.com/ic/ind_index.html
and as an example :
http://biz.yahoo.com/p/635conameu.html
each of the column headers can be clicked to "sort" the stocks by that
criteria from low unmber to high number...click the very same header again
and it sorts from high number to low number
there's a link in the upper right hand corner to download to spreadsheet
so simple it's as if they knew what you wanted before you asked for it
enjoy

Ausand,
That is very close to what I want. But I still have to click each
industry group and copy/paste each set of stocks. That's a lot of
clicking!
I'm after a single spreadsheet, prefereably one that is updated once a
week, that holds ALL groups and stocks in one table.

Mike - Excellent! Just what I wanted. I will start with this list, but
sometime I will have to translate that code into C#. (I assume this is
Linux?)
I appreciate your help!
