Answer 1

Done.
The script is ready and available.
Go to my idisk
<http://idisk.me.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
Download:
For_iWork:iWork '09:forNumbers09:insertquotes.zip
Unpack the archive.
You will get the script,
two examples of Numbers documents
several examples of downloaded data files.
Here I just pass the explanations:
Save this script as a … Script in the "Folder Actions Scripts" folder
<startupVolume>:Library:Scripts:Folder Action Scripts:
Attach this Folder Actions script to the folder receiving your downloaded
"quotesDE\[-x].csv" (or "convertDE\[-x].csv") file. if you download from a German site.
"quotesFR\[-x].csv" (or "convertFR\[-x].csv") file. if you download from a French site.
"quotesUK\[-x].csv" (or "convertUK\[-x].csv") file. if you download from a British site.
"quotesUS\[-x].csv" (or "convertUS\[-x].csv") file. if you download from a site from the U.S.A.
If you don't know the way to use Folder Actions Scripts, look at the chapter entitled
"Running an automation when a folder is changed" in the Finder's Help.
When the script is attached to the folder, it will be triggered each time a file is added to the folder
If some conditions are verified, the script deciphers the file's contents and insert the grabbed values in a Numbers '09 document.
These conditions are:
Numbers '09 must be running.
The added file must be named "quotes.csv".
A document whose named is defined in the property myDoc (or my_Doc) must be open in Numbers.
The document must contain a sheet whose name is defined in the property mySheet (or my_Sheet).
The document must contain in this sheet a table whose name is defined in the property myTable (or my_Table).
The first cell of the destination area is defined by the properties columnNum1 and rowNum1 (or column_Num1 and row_Num1).
If the table is too small to store the download datas, it's enlarged accordingly.
CAUTION, only one script may be active when attached to a folder.
If you attach several of them, only the last one will be triggered.
If you need several active scripts of this kind you must attach a single script
which will dispatch files to other scripts given the received items.
It's out of the range of this thread but the script is ready to do that.
