need cBot to read from file that Indicator is writing to
28 Jun 2017, 08:24

Hi, I hope someone can please help me with this one.

I have an indicator that writes values to a file. The method used is exactly as per:

/forum/calgo-reference-samples/54

I also have a cbot that I need to be able to read the values from the same file. However, when I try to run the cbot simulatneously with the indicator, the cbot crashes with "The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process".

How do I amend /forum/calgo-reference-samples/54 so that it does not block all access to the file, ie allows another process to read it?

Thanks very much for you help.
