Using ElCollection to read CSV file: Error

arjfca · Postby **arjfca** » 22 Mar 2013

Hello

I'm trying to use ElCollection dll to read a CSV file. The code compiled OK, but when it is run, I received an error message

:Can't find dll Elcollection.dll

Since the code did compile, how can I receive an error message that MC can't find the ElCollections.dll since << ListC.Readfile >> is a standard function from MC.

Martin

Code: Select all


Input:

StartLine (1);



Var:

Intrabarpersist Index (0),

ReadCSVString (""),

Instrument (""),

Date_ (""),

Tine_ (""),

Action (""),

QTE (""),

Price(""),

Reference ("");

 

Once Index = Startline;



Once begin 

  Value1 = ListC.Readfile(Index, "G:\Documents\Trading_Report");

  print (value1);

end;

Martin,

ListC.Readfile is not a standard MC function, but a function from the ELCollections set. So you probably just need to place the ELCollections.dll in the MC program folder and everything should work fine.

Good afternoon Chris

I did install the dll in MC folder and I'm receiving another error message. I will read again the documentation to see where it could fail

Martin,

that error tells you that you are trying to retrieve values from a collection that doesn't exist or (if I recall it correctly) you are using a key that is not stored in your collection.

Hi Martin,

Perhaps, the issue is your file name ?

Have you tried to replace

Code: Select all

Value1 = ListC.Readfile(Index, "G:\Documents\Trading_Report");

by this one :

Code: Select all

Value1 = ListC.Readfile(Index, "G:\Documents\Trading_Report.CSV");

Best regards.
