How to open a log file without closing the MT terminal?

New comment
 
Hi

Does anybody knows how could I open a log file without closing the MT terminal?

It's nice that a Print function exists, but my MT logs are locked until terminal client is open. Are yours also locked? Is there any why to read log contents without closing the terminal? Do I miss something?

use File functions to write your own logs for instance:
int ExtHandle=-1;

void init()
  {
   ExtHandle=FileOpen("MyLog.txt",FILE_WRITE | FILE_CSV,";");
  }

void deinit()
  {
   if(ExtHandle>0) FileClose(ExtHandle);
  }

int start()
  {
   if(ExtHandle>0)
     {
      FileWrite(ExtHandle,TimeToStr(Time[0]),TimeToStr(CurTime()),Open[0],High[0],Low[0],Close[0],Volume[0]);
      FileFlush(ExtHandle);
     }
    ...
  }
 

ExtHandle=FileOpen("MyLog.txt",FILE_WRITE | FILE_CSV,";");


Thank s lot Slawa. Any attmept to fix a path to the file fails. I've tried 
   ExtHandle=FileOpen("C:\MyLog.txt",FILE_WRITE | FILE_CSV,";");


and

   ExtHandle=FileOpen("C:\\MyLog.txt",FILE_WRITE | FILE_CSV,";");



Both returned 4101 "Wrong file name" error. Could I change somehow the directory or where will be written the file is no path has been specified?
