Demo_FileFind - MetaTrader 5 Script | Trading Script Download - MT4/MT5 Resources
This script is a simple example of using functions to search and manipulate files and directories.
The script searches and displays the names of all files and directories located in the "Experts" folder in the terminal's local folder. The following command can be called to obtain the terminal local folder location terminal information string () function.
Printing format ( "Path of terminal local folder: %s\\Files\\" , terminal information string ( terminal data path ));
