No, I'm not sure. I thought it will work easier. I was mainly interested: I actually do not use huge files from MT4: so I limited all file actions to: 2147483646 bytes (2.1 GB). But thanks a lot for all your kind help: especially the GetFileSizeEx ...

Xaphod just a small question. You write: // For positive integers only! // For positive integers only! void DoubleToLargeInt(double dIn, int& iaLargeInt[]) { double dHigh,dLow; is the comment correct. I looks like that it does the negative too: at ...

. I was not sure about this. Do you use this index files only for precalculated past data or do you also update them with live data on the fly and use them in a similar manner as arrays?

MT4: Create Variables on the fly

CockeyedCowboy, Thanks a lot. Do you have any more infos of how I would go about if I wanted to try to implement something you suggested for my own needs?

MT4: Create Variables on the fly

CockeyedCowboy, thanks for the feedback. I'm a bit unsure if I understand you correctly so if you don't mind just a couple of questions to clarify. One... works like a regular data file like MT's price data files You mean the History files? that ...

nubcake:yeah about that.... no such thing as multi-dimensional arrays in mql, just as there are no structs or typedef's etc. I think they have 4 dimensional support: url Arrays are allowed to be maximum four-dimensional. But I guess only with one ...

No, I guess I follow you. I have to think this over a bit.

For the config file I'm thinking along something like this: still in procress and I might end up with something completely different. #===opSMA 1 sIndicatorName = opSMA_0.00.ex4 # To support multiple config files for the same indicator a own name ...

MT4: Create Variables on the fly

I don't really mind too much about the config file and reading in values. I have started some pre-work like the file write/read stuff and I hope the parsing is not to bad in MT4. But I'm wondering more how to best implement the other stuffs.

MT4: Create Variables on the fly

Not sure. Maybe I'm also not expressing myself to clearly English being not my mother tongue. But even if I use something like you wrote: me... i'd probably just have a blank string extern in your indicator. manually populate this with something ...
