FileOpen for writing INVALID_HANDLE

[Essam Daoud]

Hi

In mql5

I am getting INVALID_HANDLE when trying to open a file for writing, any idea why and how to fix it?

Thanks

void writeToFile(string str){
  int fH = FileOpen("//...//...//Common//Files//newsFF.txt", FILE_WRITE, 0);
  if(fH == INVALID_HANDLE){
    Print("File does not exist: ");
  } else {
    uint k = FileWrite(fH, str);
  }
  FileClose(fH);

}

 int fH = FileOpen("//newsFF.txt", FILE_WRITE | FILE_COMMON, 0);
