Hi,

I noticed if my .cpp file ending with underscore+number, then
the underscore+number part will be missed in 'Add Study' window.

i.e. after build My_Study_1234.cpp, I will get My_Study_1234.dll
inside C:\SierraChart\Data folder, but in Add Study window, it
shows the file name is (My_Study.dll v2308) not My_Study_1234.dll

Also, if a study name has "&" character, i.e.
if (sc.SetDefaults) {
sc.GraphName = "My_Study_S&P";
}

The correct name would be shown in 'Chart Studies' window, but when
I right-click inside chart window and go 'Study Settings', the name
would shown as My_Study_SP, '&' is missing and P is underscored.

Thanks

Those are special situations. So they should be avoided. You should always avoid special characters in names, just due to the possibility of the Operating System interpreting them incorrectly.

Refer to the following regarding filenames:
