FileGetTime

Retrieves the datetime stamp of a file or folder.

FileGetTime, OutputVar [, Filename, WhichTime]

 

Parameters

OutputVar The name of the variable in which to store the retrieved date-time in format YYYYMMDDHH24MISS. The time is your own local time, not UTC/GMT.
Filename The name of the target file or folder, which is assumed to be in %A_WorkingDir% if an absolute path isn't specified. If omitted, the current file of the innermost enclosing File-Loop will be used instead.
WhichTime Which timestamp to retrieve:
M = Modification time (this is the default if the parameter is omitted)
C = Creation time
A = Last access time

 

ErrorLevel

ErrorLevel is set to 1 if there was a problem or 0 otherwise.

 

Remarks

A file's last access time might not be as precise on Win9x as it is on NT based operating systems.

See YYYYMMDDHH24MISS for an explanation of dates and times.
