Script wont retrieve file modify date

[damian666]

Global $File, $T, $Search, $Data

; Shows the filenames of all files in the current directory
$Search = FileFindFirstFile("Accounts\*.ini")

; Check if the search was successful
If $Search = -1 Then
 MsgBox(48,"Error","No files found, sure you got the right dir?")
EndIf

;Find File Names If Any...
While 1
 $File = FileFindNextFile($Search)
 If @error Then ExitLoop

 $T = FileGetTime($File)

 If @error = 0 Then
  ConsoleWrite($File & " " & $T[0] & "/" & $T[1] & "/" & $T[2])
  $Data = $T[0]
  ;Check last modified date
  If $Data <= 2009 Then
   ConsoleWrite("File: " & $File & " is older!!! Time: " & $Data & @CRLF)
  endif
 Elseif @error = 1 then
  ConsoleWrite("Error checking date on File: " & $File & @CRLF)
 endif
WEnd

; Close the search handle
FileClose($Search)

this does not what it should...

it should show me last modified date, but it always says error retrieving it.

any ideas?

I think you should take again a look to FileGetTime function help. You are using:

FileGetTime($File, 0, 1)

and after that you try to use an array so you should change the format option from 1 to 0

FileGetTime($File, 0, 0)

I hope this helps... and yes, it's a pain the code you posted ;-)

Working here. But wait, do you run it thru SciTE or compiled? If the first case you'll see console output, but not in the latter case except using a way to grab stdout and display it somehow. Use MsgBox instead to test it compiled.

i runned it in scite, i know it wont show debug msg outside it ^^

ill try doing it with msgbox for the heck of it, ill report back in a sec...

edit:

nope, with msgbox and compiled, it still shows me error, no date O.o

is it possible it wont show this info for ini files?

Don't take it bad if I ask[ed] basic question and point out things you already happen to know. Sometimes, long-time users pop up and raise elementary issues. There's no hurt anyway.

.ini files are just files. Are you sure you have necessary access rights for that operation in this directory? Also, are you running the latest release of AutoIt (3.3.6.1)?

Hi,

try instead of $T = FileGetTime($File)

$T = FileGetTime(@ScriptDir & "\Accounts\" & $File)

FileFindNextFile returns only the filename. !! So it checks in wrong directory !!

Stefan,

Must be why it fails. Not having an Accounts directory handy, I removed that part. But you make it clear that it won't work if another directory than CWD is selected.

lol... so simple ... xD

sorry to waste your time guys ^^

thank you very much, and jchd, i didnt take it the bad way man, just glad you were willing to help
