FileOpenHistory(

[Yochanan Gerbi]

Hello freinds,

 

At MQL4 I hade FileOpenHistory(...),

and I changed it to:

FileOpen(C:\Program Files\Fxglobe ECN Metatrader 5.0\Bases\GoForex-Demo\history\...),

 

The compiler's response is:

many of: '\' - illegal escape sequence

 

What should I do:

Try replacing all \ with \\.

You should read documentation https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/files

crossy: just like stringo has suggested, check the documentation. In https://www.mql5.com/en/docs/files/fileopen you can see an example code where you have \\ in the paths, not \.
