If you can do it in c#, then sure.

Yes, that would be then just standard C# to run your custom file.

For example here's a sample implementing a read / write operation from a file using System.IO

would it be too much to ask to write a short code for me?
I'm not a programmer
thank you

We could unfortunately not really custom develop this for you - have you checked into the sample link? It would show you for example how to open a txt file and read from it. What are you trying to do and run exactly? What action do you look to automate?

I have an indicator that for some reason needs to be refreshed every time and I have a script that does just that that clicks F5 on that window, if I could do that from Ninja it would be better and for that window only if I so choose

[NinjaTrader_Bertrand]

elgaza, instead of running that file / external program it would be probably easier to include a SendKeys.Wait command from C# for triggering the F5 press via code directly.

this is exactly what I mean, but I'm not too sure how to do this
and thank you for replying back

elgaza, here's an example you could check into - http://www.ninjatrader.com/support/f...ad.php?t=37808

You would be then sending a F5 command instead but the structure would be the same.

thank you for that I'll try it
