Hi,
I want to use "kernel32.dll" to read and write files. (from http://www.m-t-a-w.com/indicatorsandea/File%20Read%20Write.mq4)
from other than the MT4-default-folders.
So far so good.
But now I want to define the path to the files to be read or written:
But this causes this compiling error:
Interesting for me, this doe not cause a compiling error:
But I doubt - not tested yet, I'm not that far tu run my EA - that this will work?
Any hint how to define a path properly?
Thanks in advance and happy trading ;)

The solution is just to double the '\':
#define PATH "C:\\Users\\cas\\Documents\\MT4\\myMQ4\SETs\\"
or simply use forward slashes. Thats what I usually do. Windows has no problems interpreting the forward slashes as if they were backslashes.
