    but it's been a while back, so i am just wondering if there's any new ways to do this?
    can information be grab of my local stock index instead of yahoo?

    or is there any scripts which i can purchase to do this?

    You can still use that script.

    To get a different stock price, just change YHOO in the csv file URL to whatever symbol you want to fetch.
