They're different.
I don't recognise the text within (haha), but when I open using notepad, set1.set shows 1 line, but set2.set shows 4 lines.
set1.set is Unix format, set2.set is DOS format. Maybe if you convert set2 into Unix format it will load.
saghez: so strange!!! they are the same but the second one is not working.
When I do (MT4) Market Watch → Sets → Save As … I get an ANSI file. Your set1 is Unicode BOM but your set2 is UTF-8.

what is the difference.
both are Unicode. I Know that it contains Arabic character. I am using vb.net code to generate it
Dim OutPutFileName As String OutPutFileName = "C:\CSV\Trend.set" If File.Exists(OutPutFileName) Then File.Delete(OutPutFileName) Dim Fso As FileStream = New FileStream(OutPutFileName, FileMode.CreateNew, FileAccess.Write, FileShare.None) Fso.Close() Dim SwFromFileTrueUTF8 = New StreamWriter(OutPutFileName, True, System.Text.Encoding.UTF8) Dim i, Li As Integer Dim CellVal As String For i = 0 To Li SwFromFileTrueUTF8.Write(Symbol(i) + vbLf) Next End With SwFromFileTrueUTF8.Flush() SwFromFileTrueUTF8.Close() MsgBox(OutPutFileName + " Created.")
I changed
System.Text.Encoding.UTF8
to
System.Text.Encoding.Unicode Now It works properly. Thanks Guys

I have two files First generated by Metatrader to save market watch symbols in a .Set files (set1.set)
the second one is (set2.set) and it is generated by a program.
I copied set2.set into MQL5\Profiles\SymbolSets path then i run metatrader5
i can see bout set1 and set2 , but whenever i load set2 into MarketWatch, no symbols added to Marketwtch.
so strange!!! they are the same but the second one is not working.
