Is the File Name Wrong? - page 2

jollydragon: What I pasted was copied from "help book" of MetaQuotes, which needs correcting.

What you pasted had the line

//--- incorrect file opening method

showing what not to do. No correction required.

Oh, yes. Sorry for neglecting it.

To be perfectly honest, I spent 30 minutes trying to figure this thing out and face exactly the same problem as jollydragon. Trial and error helped me to find the correct way and only then I saw your remark about the "//incorrect way of opening". THIS IS HIGHLY CONFUSING! I am coding for several hours and my eyes mey get tired- feeding me roadbumps like that DOES NOT help.

I know this is 2.5 years late, but maybe somebody is reading this and is looking for an answer:

I had the same issue and solved it as follows:

The solution is simple:

1- Copy or move the file you want to use to ....................\MQL4\Files (the dots should be replaced with the path to your MetaQuotes Terminal folder)

2- Change the line of code to the following:

int file_handle=FileOpen("................csv",FILE_READ|FILE_CSV,',');    (the dots should be replaced with your filename.

And it should work without a problem.

The "......" is the Data Folder. Data Structure in MetaTrader 4 Build 600 and Higher - MQL4 Articles 17.02.2014 Replace the MQL4 with tester when testing.
