Please help with FileWrite() FileWriteArray()

New comment
 

Hi,

I searching in web and cant understand how it works...

I have EA that at the end should write collected info in file (txt or csv) NOT BIN

I'm collecting data in array 

struct dati
  {
   int            Tiki; //
   int            Trend;  //
   int            Sk;  //
   double         Profit;  //
  };
dati array_vesture[];
for (int i=1;i<ArrSk;i++)
{
   array_vesture[ArrSk].Tiki = sTiki;
   array_vesture[ArrSk].Trend = sTrend;
   array_vesture[ArrSk].Sk = array_vesture[ArrSk].Sk + 1;
   array_vesture[ArrSk].Profit = array_vesture[ArrSk].Profit + sProfit;
}

ArrSk - usually not larger than 2000

void OnDeinit(const int reason)
  {
   string fails = "strategija2.txt";
   int file_handle;
   string   InpDirectoryName="Data"; // directory name

   ResetLastError();
   file_handle=FileOpen(InpDirectoryName+"//"+fails, FILE_SHARE_WRITE|FILE_CSV,";");
   if(file_handle!=INVALID_HANDLE)
   {
   int test;
   for (int i=1;i<=ArrSk-1;i++)
      {
         Print("arr test "+array_vesture[i].Tiki+","+
            array_vesture[i].Trend+","+
            array_vesture[i].Sk+","+
            array_vesture[i].Profit);
            
         test = FileWrite(file_handle,array_vesture[i].Tiki,
            array_vesture[i].Trend,
            array_vesture[i].Sk,
            array_vesture[i].Profit);
            Print("test "+test);				// RETURNS 0 ?????????????
      }   
   }
   else
      Print("Failed to open the file, error ",GetLastError());
  }

When I using command Print() it outputs my data as i wanted

but when I using command FileWrite() it gives my empty file.. WHY??? I also tried different FileOpen types..

file_handle=FileOpen(InpDirectoryName+"//"+fails, FILE_SHARE_WRITE|FILE_CSV,";");

file_handle=FileOpen(InpDirectoryName+"//"+fails, FILE_WRITE|FILE_TXT);

file_handle=FileOpen(InpDirectoryName+"//"+fails, FILE_SHARE_WRITE|FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_CSV,";");

and all combinations I can think of .. with no luck :( Also tried to use command FileWriteArray() in different combinations also with no luck :((

I want output TXT or CSV file look like this:

41005112,1,0,5.8

41005112,0,0,0.1

05112222,1,0,5.2

Sorry for my English, and this is my first post.. :) I hope somebody can explain me where I make mistake.. :)) Thank You all very much!


 

Welcome to mql4.com forum,

Your English is just fine, don't worry. Which build are you using ?

   for(int i=1;i<ArrSk;i++)
     {
      array_vesture[i].Tiki=i;
      array_vesture[i].Trend=i*2;
      array_vesture[i].Sk=1;
      array_vesture[i].Profit=Ask;
     }

and

   file_handle=FileOpen(InpDirectoryName+"//"+fails, FILE_WRITE|FILE_CSV,";");

All is ok for me :

Thank you! :))

FileWriteBug.mq4 does not work for me at all :( file is emty and in journal :

2014.02.14 21:11:06.183 EURUSD,M1: 59958 tick events (2441 bars, 60958 bar states) processed within 16 ms (total time 2839 ms)

2014.02.14 21:11:06.153 FileWriteBug test started

It's a script not an EA. And I see now that you are talking about the Strategy Tester.

I am running it on a live chart, script can't be backtested.

 

sorry, now is ok, see the code again...

No luck

string paridade = "aaa.csv";

string pathName="d:\\Forex\\Dados\\"+paridade; //paridade like Um.csv

does not make even folder on d:\ :(

Sorry I m confused.. Is it possible to use EA on back testing (strategy tester), collect info and after that write info in file?
