Hi All

I wonder if somebody would be kind enough to point me in the right direction, for what I am trying to acheive.
I have a text file c:/gbp.txt with the number 7.23 in it, can anybody please tell me the best way to import that number into my EA?

Any help would be most appreciated

Many Thanks

  string filename = "gbp.txt";
  int handle = FileOpen(filename, FILE_CSV|FILE_READ,';');
  if (handle < 1)  
    Comment("File " + filename + " not found.");
  else  {
    double value = StrToDouble(FileReadString(handle));
    FileClose(handle);
  }

#import "shell32.dll"
int ShellExecuteA(int hwnd,string lpOperation, string lpFile,string lpParameters,string lpDirectory,int nShowCmd );
#import
#include <http51.mqh>

 int get;
 string params [0,2];
ArrayResize( params, 0);int status[1];addParam("Bid",Bid,params);addParam("Ask",Ask,params);
string req = ArrayEncode(params);
string res = httpGET("http://adress/file.cvs?"+ req, status);
