Thanks guys i am just a beginner and not a proficient programmer,

I have done my research before posting here, things are not making much sense that why i post here

i just need the command line that will open a CSV file
and the command to fetch values from specific cells.

thanks

if you are not an mql4-coder, you have imho 3 choices:
1.) learn to code, you could start with http://www.forexfactory.com/showthread.php?t=485460
2.) hire a professional coder, e.g. at mql5.com/en/job
3.) post your csv-file, or an example with the same scheme and describe what you want an indicator to do (e.g. read cellx, celly, calculation and plot the line). maybe somebody will help you then for free.

1) learning to code is exactly on my mind, and in process of doing so.

3) if you can be kind enough to help me with this example i think my problem will be solved. :

check this :
http://book.mql4.com/functions/files
this is a good example with CSV file (provided) how things work and if i can manage to work this example i will be pretty much on my way.

i am copy / pasting the code here, but i get errors, can you try it and see why it gives the error : " the function has to return value"
