MQL4参考 文件函数 FileWrite

FileWrite

The function is intended for writing of data into a CSV file, delimiter being inserted automatically unless it is equal to 0. After writing into the file, the line end character "\r\n" will be added.

uint  FileWrite(
   int  file_handle,   // File handle
   ...                 // List of recorded parameters
   );

Parameters

file_handle

[in]  File descriptor returned by FileOpen().

...

[in] The list of parameters separated by commas, to write to the file. The number of written parameters can be up to 63.

Return Value

Number of bytes written or 0 in case of error. To obtain information about the error call the GetLastError() function.

Note

Numbers will be converted into a text at output (see the Print() function). Data of the double type are output with the accuracy of 16 digits after the decimal point, and the data can be displayed either in traditional or in scientific format - depending on which format will be the most compact. The data of the float type are shown with 5 digits after the decimal point. To output real numbers with different precision or in a clearly specified format, use DoubleToString().

Numbers of the bool type are displayed as "true" or "false" strings. Numbers of the datetime type are displayed as "YYYY.MM.DD HH:MI:SS".
