Check out the new article: Implementing Practical Modules from Other Languages in MQL5 (Part 06): Python-Like File IO operations in MQL5.
This article shows how to simplify complex MQL5 file operations by building a Python-style interface for effortless reading and writing. It explains how to recreate Python’s intuitive file-handling patterns through custom functions and classes. The result is a cleaner, more reliable approach to MQL5 file I/O.
File operations are essential for any programming language. They help our programs interact with external files through code, helping us import and export bits of information. With hundreds, if not thousands, of file types available in modern software, we need better and more effective ways of handling (reading and writing) information to and from these files.
The MQL5 programming language comes loaded with various built-in ways of reading and writing to countless types of files, but they aren't always sufficient. In this article, we will explore how file I/O works in MQL5 compared to Python and how we can design higher-level (Python-like abstractions on top of the native API. The goal is to provide a simplistic yet effective and safer approach for I/O operations in the MQL5 programming language.
