[Programming Help] - [ACSIL] Dynamically set sc.DataFile based on sc.DataTradeServiceName()

Hello! I am looking for a way to universally set the sc.DataFile variable no matter what Data Feed I am connected to. For example: - my sc.SCDataFeedSymbol() is set to "MNQ?##" - my Currently Selected Service (File >> Data/Trade Service Settings) is "Teton CME Routing" To change the Symbol of the Chart my Custom Study is applied to, I have to set the sc.DataFile variable to be "MNQZ25_FUT_CME.scid". But if I later change the Currently Selected Service to let's say "SC Data", then this code won't work anymore, because the format of the Selected Service is "MNQZ25-CME", so the sc.DataFile variable should be set to "MNQZ25-CME.scid". Is there a built in way to do this automatically, for example: *sc.SetDataFileDynamically(const char dataFeedSymbol), which can get the sc.SCDataFeedSymbol()** as parameter and set the Symbol dynamically? Or do I have to build a custom dictionary for each Data Feed that I want to support? Thank you in advance!
