Obtain a list of the symbols in MT4

Hello,

Does anyone know a way to get a list of all the symbols in MetaTrader 4?

Even if it is through C/C++ via DLL, etc.

I know you can get quotes through DDE, may be it also has a way of getting the symbol list?

The only way I can think of is to use a symbol set. If you right click on the symbol window, do a show all, then do a Sets>Save As and create a new symbol set with all the symbols. These live in the MetaTrader\SymbolSets folder. The files themsevers are simple text files listing all the symbols. You can then copy this to the files folder and read it in using file i/o
