DooMGuarD :

What I did was:

Since file read only reads in specific folders you will need to use another language to copy the file forexall.set from terminal_directory\symbolsets to terminal_directory\experts\files folder or terminal_directory\tester\files if testing, then use this code:

int handle;
handle=FileOpen("forexall.set",FILE_CSV|FILE_READ|FILE_WRITE,"\x09");

string s = FileReadString( handle, 6); // this will give you the first currency

And keep doing it until the end of the file.

Hope this helps.
