Printing to output window

[aafwintb]

Good Afternoon/Morning;

I am trying to print data to the output window.

My code is as follows:

#region Using declarations
using System;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Drawing.Drawing2D;
using System.Xml.Serialization;
using NinjaTrader.Cbi;
using NinjaTrader.Data;
using NinjaTrader.Indicator;
using NinjaTrader.Gui.Chart;
using NinjaTrader.Strategy;
#endregion

// This namespace holds all strategies and is required. Do not change it.
namespace NinjaTrader.Strategy
{
/// <summary>
/// Enter the description of your strategy here
/// </summary>
[Description("Enter the description of your strategy here")]
public class CSVPrinter : Strategy
{
#region Variables
// Wizard generated variables
private int myInput0 = 1; // Default setting for MyInput0
// User defined variables (add any user defined variables below)
#endregion

/// <summary>
/// This method is used to configure the strategy and is called once before any strategy method is called.
/// </summary>
protected override void Initialize()
{
CalculateOnBarClose = true;
}

protected override void OnStartUp()
{
//Print your header
Print("Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close");
}
/// <summary>
/// Called on each bar update event (incoming tick)
/// </summary>
protected override void OnBarUpdate()
{
// Print your data for each bar
Print("," + Time[0] + "," + Open[0] + "," + High[0] + "," + Low[0] + "," + Close[0]);
}

#region Properties
[Description("")]
[GridCategory("Parameters")]
public int MyInput0
{
get { return myInput0; }
set { myInput0 = Math.Max(1, value); }
}
#endregion
}
}

However I get this as my printout:
Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close
29/12/2011 21:00:00,1.2937,1.2965,1.2937,1.2964
29/12/2011 22:00:00,1.2963,1.2964,1.2958,1.2961
29/12/2011 23:00:00,1.2961,1.2962,1.2948,1.2951
30/12/2011 00:00:00,1.2951,1.2955,1.2942,1.2953

But I am trying to get this:
Date,Time,Open,High,Low,Close
29/12/2011, 21:00:00,1.2937,1.2965,1.2937,1.2964
29/12/2011, 22:00:00,1.2963,1.2964,1.2958,1.2961
29/12/2011, 23:00:00,1.2961,1.2962,1.2948,1.2951
30/12/2011, 00:00:00,1.2951,1.2955,1.2942,1.2953

How do I get it to print the comma between the data and the time.?

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Hello aafwintb,
Please use the below code to print as per your format.

Print(Time[0].ToString("dd/MM/yyyy") + "," + Time[0].ToString("HH:mm:ss") + "," + Open[0] + "," + High[0] + "," + Low[0] + "," + Close[0]);

Please let me know if I can assist you any further.

a related issue, when running S. Analyzer the Print goes to out, where does it go when doing realtime testing?

Hello anwar,
The Print function will print out the logs in the Output window (Tools>Output Window) whether the code is running live or via the Strategy Analyzer.
