Hi,

i´m trying to create an indicator that exports realtime data to a csv file, i stuck in two points now, first the code :

variables : ask(0),bid(0),result(0);

ask = insideask;
bid = insidebid;
result = (bid + (ask - bid) / 2);

print( file( " ****1 " ), DateFormat( "DDMMYY", "-"), " ", ***2 , ";", result );
plot1(result,"");


****1 - is possible to put here the symbol and current date each time i plot this in a chart ?
****2 - i try to figure out a way to put here HHMMSS but i couldn´t do it

In the result it´s strange because only the first 2 decimal appears, for instance in fx instead of appear 1.4875 only appears 1.48

please can somebody help me in this task, really apprecciated.

regards

Hi eggzactly,

Look into TS functions like FormatDate, FormatTime for formatting date and time.
There may be other user developed functions for Date and Time on TS Forums.

You can also use Symbol or GetSymbolName to get symbol names.

To print decimals correctly use print(" myValue = ", myValue:1:4) format, 4 is number of decimals.

Thanks for quick answer.

Well i resolve the issue of decimal places, thanks.

Abou the time i tried ELTimetoDateTime_s but with no result :-( my problem is getting the time in the format HH:MM:SS .

Regarding the file, i see the text function but unfortunately i don´t know how to code that in the file function, can please help me.

thanks in advance.

at the multicharts menu bar,
select Help> MultiCharts Help

the MultiCharts User Guide will pop out

select the Contents tab

expand the PowerLanguage section

expand the Keyword Reference

you will see a section devoted to Date and Time Routines


Hope the above helps

Here is the code to print current Bar's Date and Time in "hh:mm:ss tt" format

==============
Var: strVar(""), pDateTime(0);

if (lastBarOnchart) then
begin
pDateTime = DateToJulian( Date ) + ( TimeToMinutes( Time ) / 60 / 24 ) ;
strVar =(FormatTime("hh:mm:ss tt",pDateTime));
print(strvar);
end;
==============
