Thread: Reading News from a CSV file

Hi All,

The thought I have is that, after a week I download a csv file using the high impact news and I want my EA to read it and to filter transaction occasions based on those events.

Does anyone know of an easy thing to do about this? Below is the way.

Thanks in advance

Hi Sangmane,

Excellent example! Thanks so much for your help, I think about a week, you saved me.

Hi Sangmane,
Your EA works fantastic for me,now my csv like this:

Could you show me the way to read the last line and the last-n lineup?

Hi,

I want same as above rather than printing the values, I want to put into the structure using FileReadStruct or FileReadArray function and then print values in the structure. Can anyone have suggestion or piece of code onto this.

Thanks Regards
Pazhani

I use this to see from a news csv file that only has in it the following format: 2014.10.28 14:25

The document is read along with the date and time read in an array which is then utilized to halt trading.

In my EA the code is:

//-- parameters for data reading
string InpFileName =News.csv; // document name
string InpDirectoryName=Information; // directory name



int openTheFile()
FILE_WRITE

Okay.. So a couple of questions. . No on second thoughts;

does anyone know of a bit of code they could point me I could use for instance?
