Convert hst file to csv file - Script for MetaTrader 4 - MT4/MT5 Resources
The hst2csv script is used to convert *.hst files into *.csv files, which can be imported into the MetaTrader 4 client without errors.
How the script works
What is the purpose of this script: At the request of the customer, I once compiled the history based on the fragments provided by the customer, and found that when importing data from the hst file, the terminal did not read all the files at all. But the data inside is valuable. This script converts all these non-importable files to csv and compares the file sizes correctly.
Those of you who use commas as decimal points may turn quotes into dates when opening a csv in Excel...inevitably. I can't think of any other way than writing a separate function to convert the number to a string with "," as the decimal separator. My system has "." so I leave it as is.
