If you have TS 4 you could use fileappend for automatic naming of
filenames. Something like this:
vars: XFILE(" ");
XFILE = "C:\DATA\"+ GETSYMBOLNAME +".DAT";
FILEAPPEND(XFILE,NUMTOSTR(Date,0) + " " + NUMTOSTR(OPEN,4) + " "
+ NUMTOSTR(HIGH,4) + " " + NUMTOSTR(LOW,4) + " " + NUMTOSTR(CLOSE,4)
+ NEWLINE);
end;
If currentbar = 1 then FILEDELETE(XFILE);
You would have to work out the rest. I haven't tested this out. This is
just an example.
