Problem using SampleFileReadWrite

[grd974]

Using an indicator build from the SampleFileReadWrite code previously downloaded from this site, I'm trying to read 4 daily prices from a text file which holds these data :

20080228 1381.50 1388.25 1359.00 1363.50

I withdrawed this original instruction : "if (Historical) return;" because I'm using a Market Replay connection.

As putting this custom indicator on my chart, I get the error message "Problem" in the output window.

What did I do wrong ?

      protected override void OnBarUpdate()
      {
        if (CurrentBar < 2)
	{
		Print("Problem");
		return;
	}
		else if (File.Exists(path))
	{
		Print("File exists");
		string readText = File.ReadAllText(path);
		string [] split = readText.Split(new Char [] {' ', '\r', '\n'});
		Print("File read");
		int splitCounter = 0;
		foreach (string s in split)
		{
			if (s.Trim() != "")
			{
				splitCounter++;
				if (splitCounter == 1)
					date = int.Parse(s);
				if (ToDay(Time[0]) > date)
				{
					if (splitCounter == 2)
						currentOpen = double.Parse(s);
					else if (splitCounter == 3)
						currentHigh = double.Parse(s);
					else if (splitCounter == 4)
						currentLow = double.Parse(s);
					else if (splitCounter == 5)
						currentClose = double.Parse(s);
				}
			}
		}
		string ohlc = date + " " + currentOpen + " " + currentHigh + " " + currentLow + " " + currentClose + Environment.NewLine;
		Print(ohlc);
	}
      }

Sorry to bother anyone with such a 101 question.

Well according to your code you will get prints of "Problem" simply because at one point in time there will be <2 bars.

Thanks for this quick response.
I changed the code to

 
       protected override void OnBarUpdate()
        {
 			if (File.Exists(path))

so that it should work whatever the number of bars.
The problem is that nothing gets displayed in the output window.
Isn't there an easy way to read 5 pieces of data from a text file and display them ?
