Example of using CSV files as tables - Scripts for MetaTrader 5 - MT4/MT5 Resources
This script demonstrates how the table works, where the only detail is that you need to know the number of columns.
news.txt should be converted to csv file with delimiter ";", or any other file but using the same code.
File handle = file open ( "news.csv" , file read | file_CSV | file_ANSI , ';' );
Instead of ";" set the symbol.
This approach allows each row to be processed individually, and the first column "code" helps to understand where the search value is in the table.
