Hi,

I instaled NamedPipe on different platform MT4 with help description file readme.txt, but when using script ExampleNamedPipeSenderScript

MT4 has changed in the 7.5 years since this code was originally written, and the DLL imports needed changing (mainly to handle Unicode strings & functions, though some workarounds in the old code are also no longer necessary).

Attached version runs on current builds of MT4. Should also work on MT5, but that's untested.

However, I wouldn't personally use this code. I'd communicate between MT4 instances using sockets instead of named pipes: https://www.mql5.com/en/blogs/post/706665

 

not working:

For ExampleServer:

'CreatePipeServer' - wrong parameters count ExampleNamedPipeServerEA.mq4 25 4

'arrMessages' - parameter conversion not allowed ExampleNamedPipeServerEA.mq4 51 49

'arrMessages' - invalid array access ExampleNamedPipeServerEA.mq4 51 49

'DestroyPipeServer' - wrong parameters count ExampleNamedPipeServerEA.mq4 37 4


For ExampleSender:

'SendPipeMessage' - wrong parameters count ExampleNamedPipeSenderScript.mq4 24 11


can't be compiled
