Note to MetaQuotes: Problem with forum editor

New comment
 
Dear MetaQuotes-Team,

This week-end I ran into a strange problem, that I kindly request you to have a look at.

I responded to another forum member's question from my Mac and the MQL-code I typed in came out as:

 static datetime prevtime=0;  // previously recorded time of current bar; static(!) variable, such that value is remembered on successive calls... if (prevtime != Time[0]) {   // are we in a new bar?  prevtime = Time[0];        // remember new time  ...                        // perform the calculations we want to} else {  return(0);                 // do nothing }

After trying several things to fix this problem, I gave it a try from a Windows machine and the result is as expected.

 
static datetime prevtime=0;  // previously recorded time of current bar; static(!) variable, such that value is remembered on successive calls
...
 
if (prevtime != Time[0]) {   // are we in a new bar?
  prevtime = Time[0];        // remember new time
  ...                        // perform the calculations we want to
} else {
  return(0);                 // do nothing 
}

I assume it has something to do with the different ways in which Windows and Mac OS X or UNIX/Linux indicate an EOL/end of line (CR + LF vs. LF).

Could you please check this issue?

Thanks in advance!

Cheers!

Max
