Output file name with StreamWriter

[m. khalid]

Hi,
(1) I've benefited a lot from NT StreamWriter. Thank you so much.
(2) I've created private string path2 = "D:\\data\\CL30Minute.txt"; to store the text.
(3) I'm more concerned about daily intra day values.How could I append the current date automatically to the file name by adding some codes within your script? ( The output file name will then looks like 20101228CL30Minute.txt ; 20101229CL30Minute.txt etc )
Thanks and Happy New Year To all NT staffs.

Hello m. khalid,

We're glad you find this utility useful. You can use DateTime.Now to pull the current system time.

If you just wanted the day portion of this, can use ToDay(DateTime.Now)

Hello RyanM,
(1) ToDay(DateTime.Now) seems like returning the current date.
(2) What if my DataSeries start date is set to 2010-11-23, I'd like the date to return as 20101123 as well? Thanks.

If you'd like to return the time from your chart's time stamp, you can use ToDay (Time[0])

If you want to capture this on the first bar:

if (CurrentBar == 0)
double myStartDate = ToDay (Time[0]);
