How to write the actual _Symbol in a string?

Need to write a string variable that includes the current chart _Symbol.

How to do this without the letters turning green/not being able to because of it or any other workaround? Dont want to use 40 eas when one will do

_Symbol or Symbol() ... any way to get in a string the symbol name?
Convert a string to a variable
Cannot compile as variable is not defined.....however variable will come from an indicator which will be linked. How can I compile EA that is coded to accept variables from an external indicator?

nadiawicket: Need to write a string variable that includes the current chart _Symbol.	So what's stopping you? You haven't stated a problem.

It only shows green in the compiler, it won't in any labels, prints or logs.

I was replying to the OP. The OP asked about _Symbol displaying in green letters. It was quite obvious to me that he is referring to how _Symbol is displayed in a different colour in the compiler. I didn't think that it was necessary to be Marvin the Mindreader to follow that.

Why would I need to show any code?

Keith Watford: The OP asked about _Symbol displaying in green letters.	Actually OP said the opposite. nadiawicket: How to do this without the letters turning green ... nadiawicket: ... not being able to because of it or ... I did mistake your post as a reply, because you both used "it," and I still have no idea what it is.
