Composite Tool Script Editor - Write to TXT

Composite Tool Script Editor - Write to TXT

Trying to write some variables from a composite to a text file. Figured I could just add code in my Composite tool script editor to write a txt file.

This doesn't seem to work. Output file is not being written. Any limitations to the composite script editor?

Any help is appreciated!

double[] close = Functions.GetVariable("close");
double[] open = Functions.GetVariable("open");
double[] high = Functions.GetVariable("high");
double[] low = Functions.GetVariable("low");
double[] volume = Functions.GetVariable("volume");
double[] count = Functions.GetVariable("count");

double[] date0 = Functions.GetVariable("date0"); // date0 = Date(); in QS Composite tool code
double[] symbol = Functions.GetVariable("symbol"); //symbol = name(); in QS Composite tool code
double[] totcap = Functions.GetVariable("totcap");
double[] cap = Functions.GetVariable("cap");
double[] weight = Functions.GetVariable("weight");
double[] mcap = Functions.GetVariable("mcap");
double[] comborank = Functions.GetVariable("comborank");

string s1 = "HelloWorld:";

for (int i=1; i<close.Length;i++)
{

close[0] =1000;
close[i] =close[i]*close[i-1];
open[0] = 1000;
open[i] = close[i]*open[i]/100+close[i];
high[0] = 1000;
high[i] = close[i]*high[i]/100+close[i];
low[0] = 1000;
low[i] = close[i]*low[i]/100+close[i];
volume[i] =volume[i];
count[i] =count[i];

string s2 = "Hello World:";

date0[0] = 0;
date0[i] = date0[i];
symbol[0] = 0;
symbol[i] = symbol[i];
totcap[0] = 0;
totcap[i] = totcap[i];
cap[0] = 0;
cap[i] = cap[i];
weight[0] = 0;
weight[i] = weight[i];
mcap[0] = 0;
mcap[i] = mcap[i];
comborank[0] = 0;
comborank[i] = comborank[i];

s2 = close[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + date0[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + symbol[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + totcap[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + cap[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + weight[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + mcap[i] +(char)Keys.Tab + comborank[i] + Environment.NewLine;
s1 +=s2;
System.IO.File.AppendAllText("C:\\QuantShare Exports\\output.txt", s1);
}

Functions.SetCompositeData(close);
Functions.SetCompositeDataInOpenField(open);
Functions.SetCompositeDataInHighField(high);
Functions.SetCompositeDataInLowField(low);
Functions.SetCompositeDataInVolumeField(volume);
Functions.SetCompositeDataInOpenInterestField(count);

You should add the "AppendAllText" function outside of the "for" loop, otherwise, the "s" variable will be written on each iteration.
However, even with that, you should get data in the "output.txt" file. Try to use "Global.Trace" to see if loop is being executed correctly. Trace data will be displayed in "View -> Output".
