Converting prices to numbers

Hi,

I was wondering if anyone knows how to do this:

I want to get a price and then convert that price to a string of some sort so that I can reference a particular digit in that price.

For instance, I would want to be able to, say, get a price of 1.2879, then convert that price to something I can reference later, so that I can say something like

if (price[4] == 9 && price[3] == 7)

or something like that.

Any ideas?

To convert the price to string use the following function:

DoubleToStr()

For example price=DoubleToStr(Bid,Digits) will return the Bid price converted to string. The Digits predefind variable recognizes the number of digits. For example in USDJPY this function could return "116.43" and in case of GBPUSD it might return "1.9876"

To ge a specific digit from a string you can use the combination of StringGetChar() and CharToStr() functions. For example CharToStr(StringGetChar(price,5)) would return "4" in case of USDJPY above and "7" in case of GBPUSD. The numbering is from left to right. If you want to return integers rather than strings then add StrToInteger() for example:

StrToInteger(CharToStr(StringGetChar(price,5))) would return 4 and 7 respectively in the above examples.

I hope this could help.

Thanks very much! Worked like a charm.

Good to hear that. Good Luck.
