For question 2 above, I've had the requirement too so I coded it using std::ifstream reading a text file. This is documented in C++ http://www.cplusplus.com/reference/fstream/ifstream/open/ There may be a better way but using global variables (variables before the SCDLLName call) worked. Then, within your normal code, setting your study variable equal the global variables. Worked like a charm for me! float ReadTradeSignalParams(SCStudyInterfaceRef sc) { std::ifstream input("tradesignalparameters11.txt"); int LineNum, p, q, r, s, t, u; while (!input.eof()) { input >> LineNum >> p >> q >> r >> s >> t >> u; if (LineNum == g_ControlLine) break; } // set the global variables to local variable values that come from the text file // Then, in your main code, reference the global variables for study inputs // In your main code, you will need to have some type of counter or trigger so that you do not // continually call this file read function. // the variables below with a g_ are my global variables // the g_ControlLine above was just a parameter value I look for in the input file to // stop reading values in the text file. I have several hundred and sometimes thousands of rows to read in depending on the tests I am running g_Input1 = p; g_Input2 = q; g_Input3 = r; g_Input4 = s; g_Input5 = t; g_Input6 = u; return(0); } Date Time Of Last Edit: 2017-11-27 15:44:20
