How to access/download external file

(OP)
Hey guys,

I'm new to this forum, have been looking for a similar problem (was sure someone has already faced it), but couldn't find anything similar. Sorry, if this has already been answered somewhere.

There are .csv files available online. They contain stock prices data. Downloading all of them takes time, and they're updated every day. Is there a way my Matlab program (GUI) could either download or, even better, access the appropriate file online once I, say, select some stock ticker? I know the connections Bloomberg and Yahoo!, but they work only for NYSE and the like. I'm talking about smal countries, developing here, where there is no Yahoo! or Bloomberg.

Thanks a lot,
Algirdas
