[amibroker] Re: how can I oepn all files to do format editing

["Barry Scarborough" <razzbarry@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

You can't open files this way. I think you will need to know the 
file names to open specific files. I am not sure how you can get the 
names of the files. Then you need to get a handle so you can use the 
file and when it is no longer needed close it. If you want to open 
all files try a loop putting the file handles in an array. Since you 
will get a handle while files are opened and a 0 if one is not 
opened track the number of files you open so you know how big the 
array is and can close them when you are done.

I am not sure how AB allocates space for an array but try something 
like this:

fh[0] = 0; // file handle array
i=0;
for (;;)
{
fh[i] = fopen( "myfile.txt", "w"); // 
if( fh[i] ) 
   i = i+1;
else 
   break; // exits loop when a file is not opened
) // end for loop

// process code 

// close files 
for (i; i > -1; --i)
(
if( fh[i] ) 
   fclose( fh[i] );
}
