String Split

[JD05]

Good day,

May i just enquire if i have a string sent via Pipeline where said string goes as ""EURUSD",OP_Buy,0.1,Ask,2,0,0"

How can i split it into using String Split

Symbol="EURUSD"

cmd=OP_Buy

volume=0.1

so on so forth using the following codes

void OnStart()
  {
string to_split="_life_is_good_"; // A string to split into substrings
   string sep="_";                // A separator as a character
   ushort u_sep;                  // The code of the separator character
   string result[];               // An array to get strings
   //--- Get the separator code
   u_sep=StringGetCharacter(sep,0);
   //--- Split the string to substrings
   int k=StringSplit(to_split,u_sep,result);
   //--- Show a comment 
   PrintFormat("Strings obtained: %d. Used separator '%s' with the code %d",k,sep,u_sep);
   //--- Now output all obtained strings
   if(k>0)
     {
      for(int i=0;i<k;i++)
        {
         PrintFormat("result[%d]=\"%s\"",i,result[i]);
     }
  }
  }

StringSubstr will not help you 

for example

if your broker price 4 digit and your StringSubstr function calculate depended on 5 digit price

maybe your symbols have prefix like eurusd.m 

it will not help you in this case so you must use your code   

[Omar Alkassar]

so in your case the code will be like this 

void OnStart()
  {
   string to_split="EURUSD,OP_BUY,0.1,1.12309,3,1.12109,1.12409,mycomment"; 
   string sep=",";               
   ushort u_sep;                 
   string result[];              
   u_sep=StringGetCharacter(sep,0);
   int k=StringSplit(to_split,u_sep,result);

   string symbol=result[0];
   int cmd=ordertype(result[1]);
   double Volume=StrToDouble(result[2]);
   double Price=StrToDouble(result[3]);
   int Slippage=StrToInteger(result[4]);
   double StopLoss=StrToDouble(result[5]);
   double TakeProfit=StrToDouble(result[6]);
   string Comment=result[7];

  }
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
//|                                                                  |
//+------------------------------------------------------------------+
int ordertype(string value)
  {
   if(value=="OP_BUY")return(0);
   if(value=="OP_SELL")return(1);
   return(-1);
  }
