Thank you. It was interesting to read. Does this mean you can pass any file (say dll) through string conversion, or are there limitations?

You can even pass files by converting them into strings. However, there is a limitation due to the NULL symbol. Once this symbol terminates what is a string in that governs MQL5 code. Other than that, we have no other limitations. At least as far as I know. 🙂👍
Awesome article! Been wondering how to fix such issues, thanks

Check out the new article: Developing a Replay System (Part 46): Chart Trade Project (V).
Tired of wasting time searching for that very file that you application needs in order to work? How about including everything in the executable? This way you won't have to search for the things. I know that many people use this form of distribution and storage, but there is a much more suitable way. At least as far as the distribution of executable files and their storage is concerned. The method that will be presented here can be very useful, since you can use MetaTrader 5 itself as an excellent assistant, as well as MQL5. Furthermore, it is not that difficult to understand.
In the previous article "Developing a Replay System (Part 45): Chart Trade Project (IV), I explained how to launch the functionality of the Chart Trade indicator. You may have noticed that in the attachment to that article there were a lot of files to transfer. The risk of making some mistake, such as forgetting to add a file or accidentally deleting something important, makes this method not very attractive.
