Send multiple lines of text to Telegram via WebRequest

New comment
 

Dear Developers,

I created an EA in MQL4 where I send 3 lines of text to Telegram where each line is ended with <br> as follows

message = StringFormat("%s v.%s<br>",EXPERT_NAME,EXPERT_VERSION) +   

                  StringFormat("%s:SELL: %.2f lot<br>", Symbol(), LOT_SIZE) +

                  StringFormat("Sell Price: %.8f",Bid);

string url = mBaseUrl+"/bot"+mToken+"/sendMessage?chat_id="+mChatID+"&text="+message;

returnval=WebRequest("GET",url,mCookie,NULL,timeout,mPost,0,mResult,mHeaders);

But somehow, the message are shown in Telegram as 1 single line, concatenating all the 3 lines.

Can anyone provide some help for me on how to separate each lines so it is shown neatly in Telegram message?

Thank you.

Alvin

 

You are missing parse_mode=HTML according to sendMessage syntax in Telegram Bot API, if you want to use HTML tags, but keep in mind, supported tags are little and <br> is not among them.

Simply use "\r\n" instead.

I don't know what is the syntax that I have to use, can you help me?
 

Insert %250a to make a line break. (ie replace <br> with %250a)

Syntax is irrelevant. Your DLL is not loaded, per your picture.

From the error message it seems that the DLL is 64 bits and MT5 is 32 bits.

This `%250a` works perfectly to me. Thanks a lot!
