How can I open template .tpl file from templates directory using MQL4 FileOpen() function?
Hi and good morning,
as i know, it is not allowed to open files outside the MQL/File directory in MQL4 (for security reasons)
The only way may be to use a dll and the WinAPI.
Best regards
Or create a hard link between the template file and MQL4/File/«whatever» and modify that.

I am trying to write MQL4 code to modify .tpl file from templates directory.
However, I am not able to open any .tpl file from template directory using FileOpen() function.
file name specified in FileOpen only opens files from MQL4/File directory but it can NOT open file from templates.
Can someone suggest how can I read .tpl file and modify and put it back to the templates directory?
