Hi guys, I have a problem with reading text data from simple txt file.. I've found some examples on the NT forum, but It doesn't work
What I need...On the first bar of session, I need to check the txt file, find line with today's date and read number next to it.

This is how it's look like:
20110502 1,2
20110503 3,5
20110504 5
20110505 1
20110506 12,15
20110509 2
20110510 4,17

This is error log in the output window I got:
**NT** Error on calling 'OnBarUpdate' method for strategy 'readFile/d840533de11e43c99da7f464470ef589': wrong format of input string

there is a attachment with my script...
any Idea what is wrong?

thanks

Altas
