How do I download a mt4 indicator in its text form into my platform as a usable indicator.

There are hundreds of them here:

those are actually source code files. copy all the mq4 into your /expert/indicators folder then restart your MT4 client program and those source codes will automatically be compiled and ready for use.

cool site btw, I've just bookmarked it for future reference.

It is cool to have charts of each indicator to look at!

Zen Leow I select (highlight) all the source code and choose copy but in the indicator folder it won't let me paste - there is no option. What am I missing?

Got it.

Highlight the source code. Then under the browser's file tab choose save page as.

Then compile it or turn the platform off then on for the indicator to appear.

you don't have to copy and paste the codes. you should right click on the link and choose "save link as" or "save target as" (depending on your browser). then choose the place to save that mq4 file. in this case, choose your expert/indicators folder.
