Below is sample code I used to read a file.
It doesn't work.
Can't see what I'm doing wrong.




if (sc.Index == sc.ArraySize - 1)
    {
      
      int FileHandle;
      sc.OpenFile("D:/SierraChart/Data/Lines_EURUSD.csv", n_ACSIL::FILE_MODE_OPEN_EXISTING_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_READING, FileHandle);
      if (sc.OpenFile("D:/SierraChart/Data/Lines_EURUSD.csv", n_ACSIL::FILE_MODE_OPEN_EXISTING_FOR_SEQUENTIAL_READING, FileHandle))
      {
        sc.AddMessageToLog("File Opened", 1);
      }
      char* Buffer;
      unsigned int BytesRead = 0;
      
      sc.ReadFile(FileHandle, Buffer, 250, &BytesRead);
      

      sc.AddMessageToLog(Buffer, 1);
      sc.AddMessageToLog("BytesRead", 1);
      std::string bytes = std::to_string(BytesRead);
      SCString Bytes = bytes.c_str();
      sc.AddMessageToLog(Bytes, 1);


      sc.CloseFile(FileHandle);
    }

I would prefer to use a C++ while loop but that causes a CPU exception.
