Help how?

What I wish to do is simply to be able to write in the output file using MQL4 file functions.

I use the following code:

I call write_data in start() function of my Indicator (or EA)

I got the comment that the file was created but in reality there is no file and the folder /expert/files remain empty.


do have an idea why the file is not created?


 void write_data()

{

  int handle;

  handle = FileOpen(nameData, FILE_CSV|FILE_WRITE,';');

  if(handle < 1)

  {

    Comment("Creation of "+nameData+" failed. Error #", GetLastError());

    return(0);

  }

  FileWrite(handle, ServerAddress(), Symbol(), Period());                  // heading

  FileWrite(handle, "DATE","TIME","HIGH","LOW","CLOSE","OPEN","VOLUME");   // heading

  int i;

  for (i=length-1; i>=0; i--)

  {

    FileWrite(handle, TimeToStr(Time[i], TIME_DATE), TimeToStr(Time[i], TIME_SECONDS),

                      High[i], Low[i], Close[i], Open[i], Volume[i]);

  }

  FileClose(handle);

  Comment("File "+nameData+" has been created. "+TimeToStr(TimeCurrent(), TIME_SECONDS) );

  return(0);

}
