I have managed to re-organise the code and de-bug to one error message which reads
Compiling 'FILE READ.mq4'...
'(' - function definition unexpected C:\Users\P\Documents\mql4\Draft Indicator Folder\FILE READ.mq4 (55, 11)
Can someone help to get rid of all errors?

Why the semi colon at the start of the line ?
; int NewsDateTime, Currency, Description, EventAlert, EventValue, WriteResult; //Variable declaration in External File
File_Name is supposed to a string, you have made it an int . .
int Handle, //nbre=0;//,sens=2,ticket=3333; // no semi colon at the end of this line, you commented it out . . . File_Name = "Book1", sens=2, ticket=3333; // so File_Name is an int
