ACSIL QUESTION DYNAMIC HEADERS

Hi, I have made some modifications to the writebardatatofile study in order to instead output study subgraphs.

I have replaced the float references to the OHLC arrays, with the following omitting everything except the key changes:


  SCSFExport scsf_WriteSGDatatofile(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc)
{

SCInputRef Separator = sc.Input[0];
  SCInputRef UseGMTTime = sc.Input[1];
  SCInputRef DateFormat = sc.Input[2];
  SCInputRef OutputMilliseconds = sc.Input[3];
  SCInputRef StudyReference1 = sc.Input[4];
}

if(sc.SetDefaults)
  {
StudyReference1.Name = "Subgraph Input 1";
sc.Input[4].SetChartStudySubgraphValues(1,1,12);

return;
}
SCFloatArray SGInput1;
  sc.GetStudyArrayUsingID(StudyReference1.GetStudyID(),StudyReference1.GetSubgraphIndex(), SGInput1);
//These references are later used to define the string variables below in the exact same way that the original study is done


So in the Header section which I have currently modified to look like this:

SCString fileHeader;      
    switch(Separator.GetInt())
    {
    case 0:
      fileHeader = "Date Time SGInput1\r\n";
      break;
    case 1:
      fileHeader = "Date, Time, SGInput1\r\n";
      break;
    case 2:
      fileHeader = "Date\Time\SGInput1\r\n";
      break;
    }

Is there a way to make the Header references Dynamic based on references to the subgraphs in the original study that I am pulling the SG arrays from so that I do not have to customize them for every application I require this study for?

Currently there is no way to get a Subgraph name from another study in ACSIL. Longer-term this capability will be developed.

We could quickly add a function to do this, but we really want to add comprehensive and organized support for something like this.

I may try writing a function for to do it for learning purposes, and because it would be easier longer term. But I was also thinking that I would have to build it in to each indicator being used, a couple of which I did not write myself or understand.

I am wondering if I should create a class file, and build a function which somehow automatically pulls the .name as strings from each indicator. Would it be possible with an approach like this or am I way off base.

Really we have to add a function for you to do this. That really is the only practical way.

Let us see what we can do.

ok thank you I appreciate your consideration of this, especially considering I doubt it is a very in demand feature. Also if you have a quick and dirty solution, that does not take too much of your time, and then I cannot get it to work. I certainly will not expect additional support to be provided.
