read file problem .

[tinivini]

Hi . I want read data from txt file .

I have a file with name "data.txt" and value inside file is "a"

I wrote this code based on the reference.

int OnInit()
  {
   int file_handle= FileOpen("data.txt",FILE_READ|FILE_ANSI|FILE_TXT);
   if(file_handle!=INVALID_HANDLE)
     {
      while(!FileIsEnding(file_handle))
        {
         string str = FileReadString(file_handle);
         Print(str);
         FileClose(file_handle);
        }
     }
   return(INIT_SUCCEEDED);
  }

The "data.txt" located same folder mql5 file  and the handle value is equal to 1.
But the str value is not printed(The program does not enter the while loop).

Please advise.
