FILE_GET_DATE_TIME Function

Syntax

Date_Time_String as C = file_get_date_time(C filename [,C info ])

Arguments

filename: The full path specification of the file.
info: Character. Optional. Default = "dt". What type of information to return. "d" = Date "t" = Time "dt" = Date and time

Description

Returns the date, or time when a file was last updated. Info: d - date, t - time, dt - date&time

Discussion

FILE_GET_DATE_TIME() returns the date and/or time on which the file specified by filename was last updated. This high level command is easier than using the low level FILEFIND.GET().

Example

? FILE_GET_DATE_TIME("C:\Databases\RoboHelper\Robohelper.Alx")
= "01/23/2003 11:13:44 00 am"
? FILE_GET_DATE_TIME("C:\Databases\RoboHelper\Robohelper.Alx", "d")
= "01/23/2003"
? FILE_GET_DATE_TIME("C:\Databases\RoboHelper\Robohelper.Alx", "t")
= " 11:13:44 00 am"
