Demo_FileReadArray - script per MetaTrader 5

The script performs reading data of Bid and Ask prices from the file which was obtained in the process of work of the Demo_FileWriteArray Expert Advisor. Reading performed from the binary file in the subdirectory of the terminal local folder, whose location can be obtained calling the TerminalInfoString() function.

PrintFormat("The path to the terminal local folder: %s\\Files\\",TerminalInfoString(TERMINAL_DATA_PATH)); 

The whole file content reads using the FileReadArray() function, after which received data will be displayed in the cycle.

Code:

//--- display the window of input parameters when launching the script
#property script_show_inputs
//--- input parameters
input string InpFileName="data.bin";
input string InpDirectoryName="SomeFolder";
