MQL4 Reference Constants, Enumerations and Structures Input/Output Constants In-File Position

Positioning Inside a File

Most of file functions are associated with data read/write operations. At the same time, using the FileSeek() you can specify the position of a file pointer to a position inside the file, from which the next read or write operation will be performed. The ENUM_FILE_POSITION enumeration contains valid pointer positions, relative to which you can specify the shift in bytes for the next operation.

ENUM_FILE_POSITION

Identifier	Description
SEEK_SET	File beginning
