Error code 5008 Invalid Handle (handle index is out of handle table) When reading CSV

[Rahul Shaji Parmeshwar]

My code below is running into error 5008 and from my understanding it's because I'm not closing the csv file after reading it? However I have closed it but don't seem to figure out why this is popping up. My files are in the MQL4/Files folder so my file path is correct. Can someone please tell me what's wrong with it?

//Global Variable
int handle;


void OnTick()
  {
    
     string data[1][18];
     
     if(TimeCurrent() > (Switch+5)){
     handle=FileOpen("LogisticRegressionOutputNDX.csv",FILE_CSV|FILE_SHARE_READ,",");
     if(handle = INVALID_HANDLE){Alert("Error Reading File",GetLastError());}
     int row = 0;
     ArrayResize(data,18);
     while(!FileIsEnding(handle))
     {
       if(row>ArraySize(data)/18-1){ArrayResize(data,(row+1)*18);}
       for(int i=0;i<=18-1;i++)data[row][i]=FileReadString(handle);
       row++;
     }
     FileClose(handle);
     Alert(data[0][0]);
    
   Switch = TimeCurrent();
   }

The goal of this code is to import a CSV file every x seconds and read a specific cell from the file and then save the value to an array which will then be used to either Buy/Sell.

     if(handle = INVALID_HANDLE)

An assignment; not a comparison.

[Alain Verleyen]

handle=FileOpen("LogisticRegressionOutputNDX.csv",FILE_CSV|FILE_SHARE_READ,",");
     

You need to use FILE_READ to read it.

READ the documentation PLEASE.
