The script opens a file located in the terminal local folder and displays values of its properties. The terminal local folder location can be obtained calling the TerminalInfoString() function.

PrintFormat("The path to the terminal local folder: %s\\Files\\",TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_DATA_PATH)); 
This script demonstrates the example of using the first variant of the FileGetInteger() function, thus it displays values of its properties. For the second variant of the function only five first properties are available.

Code:

//--- display the window of input parameters when launching the script
#property script_show_inputs
//--- input parameters
input string InpFileName="data.csv";
input string InpDirectoryName="SomeFolder";
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| Script program start function                                    |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void OnStart()
  {
   string path=InpDirectoryName+"//"+InpFileName;
   long   l=0;
//--- open the file
   ResetLastError();
   int handle=FileOpen(path,FILE_READ|FILE_CSV);
   if(handle!=INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      //--- print all information about the file
      Print(InpFileName," file info:");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_EXISTS,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_CREATE_DATE,l,"date");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_MODIFY_DATE,l,"date");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_ACCESS_DATE,l,"date");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_SIZE,l,"other");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_POSITION,l,"other");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_END,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_COMMON,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_TEXT,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_BINARY,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_CSV,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_ANSI,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_READABLE,l,"bool");
      FileInfo(handle,FILE_IS_WRITABLE,l,"bool");
      //--- close the file
      FileClose(handle);
     }
   else
      PrintFormat("%s file didn't open, ErrorCode = %d",InpFileName,GetLastError());
  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//| display the value of the file property                           |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
void FileInfo(const int handle,const ENUM_FILE_PROPERTY_INTEGER id,
              long l,const string type)
  {
//--- get the property value
   ResetLastError();
   if((l=FileGetInteger(handle,id))!=-1)
     {
      //--- the value received, display it in the correct format
      if(!StringCompare(type,"bool"))
         Print(EnumToString(id)," = ",l ? "true" : "false");
      if(!StringCompare(type,"date"))
         Print(EnumToString(id)," = ",(datetime)l);
      if(!StringCompare(type,"other"))
         Print(EnumToString(id)," = ",l);
     }
   else
      Print("Error, Code = ",GetLastError());
  }
