>>-SysGetFileDateTime(filename-+------------+-)---------------->< +-,--timesel-+
Returns the selected data and time attribute of the file filename provided that this is supported by the operating and file system. FAT, for example, does not support Create/Access. The selector for the time to be returned can be abbreviated to the first character.
The filename can also be a directory name.
The file that you want to query must not be opened by another process or must at least allow shared writes to query the time stamp.
Parameters:
The name of the file to be queried.
The file time to be queried, namely CREATE, ACCESS, WRITE.
Return codes:
The date and time in the format YYYY-MM-DD HH:MM:SS, or -1 to indicate that the file date and time query failed
Example:
Say "File creation time:" SysGetFileDateTime("MyFile.Log", "C") Say "File last access time:" SysGetFileDateTime("MyFile.Log", "A") Say "File last update time:" SysGetFileDateTime("MyFile.Log", "W") Say "Directory creation time:" SysGetFileDateTime("C:\MyDir", "C") /* in Windows NT */
