How to export more than 63 parameters using a FileWrite() function in MQL4?

Question

Below I have the full code that allows me to download the data of one currency pair, the USDJPY

  }

As you can see, I have a "Filewrite" near the bottom with different parameters. However, these are just for USDJPY. I would like to write to the same csv file with the same 63 parameters but multiple times for multiple currency pairs such as AUDUSD as shown in the code below.

The code below is what I want to do but doesnt work.

If the code above was delivered to you from some contractor ( as the comments seem to confirm ), it is the very high time to change your vendor. — user3666197, Aug 25 '17 at 10:58

Step 0: Space-X "Just Read the Instructions" has some value:

The MQL4 code-execution environment has several specific forms of code. You have chosen the second least-feasible and 've hacked the specific-purpose OnInit(){...} handler, so as to do the job you need via an immediate call to start( str, int ).

The appropriate step to do this is to use an MQL4-script, where a plain start-stop sequence of operation does not destabilise other MetaTrader 4 Terminal real-time execution tuned facilites.

Script is a program intended for a single execution of some actions. Unlike Expert Advisors, scripts do not process any actions, except for the start event ( this requires the OnStart(){...} handler function in a script ). Scripts are stored in terminal_directory\MQL4\Scripts

Next: The "Just Read the Instructions" principle will show:

FileWrite

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.

Solution: Again, "Just Read the Instructions" is well enough:

StringFormat will not work either:

Total number of parameters can't exceed 64 including the format string.

Your way is to ( yes, read the documentation :o) and ... ) use a trivial composition step:

StringConcatenate(  a, //  1.
                    b, //  2.
                    c,
                    ..
                    zz // 63.
                    );

Once I needed to have more parameters assembled, so 've used:

StringConcatenate( StringConcatenate( a_1, b_1, c_1, ..., zz_1 ),
                   StringConcatenate( a_2, b_2, c_2, ..., zz_2 ),
                   StringConcatenate( a_3, b_3, c_3, ..., zz_3 ),
                   ...
                   StringConcatenate( a63, b63, c63, ..., zz63 )
                   );

Deeper nesting still possible, so 63*63*63 ... *63 may grow, until the RAM remains to suffice.

Epilogue:

It should be also noted, that initialising an MQL4-Script on a GBPUSD-graph will make accessible the GBPUSD-section of the MetaTrader4 Terminal. More care is needed, if one wants to read the graph-non-local currency TOHLCV-records, the more, if the MetaTrader4 Terminal [ History Centre ] has not yet such records collected from some previous interactions with the MetaTrader4 Server-side repository.

Thank you! Is it possible to rerun my script right before a new candle opens like an ea? Not sure how to implement that... — NOIX, Aug 25 '17 at 22:09
Well, if you plan some semi-continuous update, there would be better to build a continuous distributed-computing solution, not a file-based re-export of all the static many-Bars .CSV-rows on each NewBar-event, wouldn't it? I use similar mechanism for AI / ML-based online predictor, without any service-disruption - a multi-tier application, one side asks, the other responds with the fresh-most prediction and MT4 can XTO based on the external AI / ML - prediction ( Rather stop using file-based batch-process, ok? ). Yet, the file can always get `FileFlush()`-ed and "extended" if one wishes to ... — user3666197, Aug 25 '17 at 22:23
Each FileIO-operation takes more than about a 15 ms, which is more than tens-of-thousands of FOREX PriceDOMAIN-events take place on Majors, so you can understand why a **`for ( int i = iBars( ccy, tf ) - 1; i >= 0; i-- ){ ... }`**-loop is a very bad idea for any decision making, the less for delivering any responsive XTO on market in motion. — user3666197, Aug 25 '17 at 22:27

string template = "%s, %.5f, %.5f"; //add as much parameters here as you need 
string toWrite = StringFormat(template,TimeToStr(Time[i]),Open[i],Close[i]);
FileWrite(handle,toWrite);

You might want to modify your post, as the proposed solution will not work ( Total number of parameters can't exceed 64 including the format string. ) – user3666197 Aug 25 '17 at 10:12
https://docs.mql4.com/en/convert/stringformat - nothing says about 63 elements only. But frankly do not remember when I used to create so large strings – Daniel Kniaz Aug 25 '17 at 12:43
:o) sure ( + one had better read MetaEditor integrated Help, as it gets re-freshed upon each *New*-MQL4 syntax-creep ... well, sometimes one or two Builds later, sometimes still having an obsolete text forgotten somewhere, but always better than sources, that are technically online, but not included in product revision-management control-loops ). As Dijkstra viewed -- ***If one does not see a bug, that does not constitute a proof there is not yet/still a bug.*** ( almost a citation :o) ) – user3666197 Aug 25 '17 at 13:35
agree with you, complete weird with their constant updates (if not taking in considerations that two updates before most chart functions like ChartSymbol() were destroyed) and do not know whether better to check help or online. StringFormat() says it is ok and same as PrintFormat rules, PrintFormat says nor more then 63. Ok, will think on how to update that post, thank you – Daniel Kniaz Aug 25 '17 at 13:48

How to export more than 63 parameters using a FileWrite() function in MQL4?
