Write quotes to txt file with full path and file name - MetaTrader 4 Library - MT4/MT5 Resources

Function description:

 #import "ITTPSymbol.dll" 
integer create file( string path, string symbol, integer price);

Example of function call:

 createFile(path, symbol (), q );

As you can see, everything is very simple. This function will create a text file named "symbol" and write (overwrite) the "Price" value in it. The path specified based on the value of Patch. The library is written in Delphi. Can be redone if anyone is interested.

Source code for this library in Delphi:

 Library ITP symbols ; usage classes , dialog boxes , system utilities ; { $ r *. resource }
function createfile ( path : puchar ; symbol : puchar ; price : integer ) : integer ; standard call ; variables output file : text file ; begin
allocateFile ( outputFile , string ( path ) + '\' + string ( symbol ) + ' .txt ' ) ; try
   overwrite ( outputfile ) ; write ( outputfile , price ) ; close file ( outputfile ) ; result := 0 ; except
   result := 1 ; end ; result := 0 ; end ; export creates file ; end .

The CreateFile() function returns 0 if the function runs successfully, otherwise it returns -1.

The sample script writes the current symbol name under which the script is run to the C:\ drive. At the same time, the "Price" parameter of type "integer" is written to the file:

That's it, use it however you want.

April 16, 2007. Fixed several bugs in new version dll:

Older versions of the library are removed so they can be downloaded safely.
