[goodbyeplanet]

i run the code below inside a fucntion and it keeps giving me the error "Subscript used with non-Array variable". the arrow points at the square brackets with [0]. where could i be going wrong. thanks for your help.

$FileDate = FileGetTime($file, 0, 0)
            $ymd = $FileDate[0] & "/" & $FileDate[1] & "/" & $FileDate[2]
            MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
            msgbox(0,"FILE CREATED ON", $ymd)

Is the variable $file a full path or just a file name?

Is the variable $file a full path or just a file name?

below is my full function

Func ScanFolder($Folder)
    Local $Search
    Local $File
    Local $Attrib
    Local $Path
    
  
    $Search = FileFindFirstFile($Folder & "\*.*")
 
    While 1
        If $Search = -1 Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf

        $File = FileFindNextFile($Search)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        $Path = $Folder & "\" & $File
        $Attrib = FileGetAttrib($Path)
                
        msgbox(0,"", $Path)      
        msgbox(0,"", $Attrib)        
        If StringInStr($Attrib,"D") Then
            ScanFolder($Path)
            
        Else
            $FileDate = FileGetTime($file, 0, 0)
            $ymd = $FileDate[0] & "/" & $FileDate[1] & "/" & $FileDate[2]
            MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
            msgbox(0,"FILE CREATED ON", $ymd)   
            LogFile($Path)
        EndIf
        
    WEnd
 
    FileClose($Search)
EndFunc

Try this:

Func ScanFolder($Folder)
    Local $Search
    Local $File
    Local $Attrib
    Local $Path
    
  
    $Search = FileFindFirstFile($Folder & "\*.*")
 
    While 1
        If $Search = -1 Then
            ExitLoop
        EndIf

        $File = FileFindNextFile($Search)
        If @error Then ExitLoop
        $Path = $Folder & "\" & $File
        $Attrib = FileGetAttrib($Path)
                
        msgbox(0,"", $Path)      
        msgbox(0,"", $Attrib)        
        If StringInStr($Attrib,"D") Then
            ScanFolder($Path)
            
        Else
            $FileDate = FileGetTime($Path, 0, 0) ;<<<<***************** Changed it to $Path here
            $ymd = $FileDate[0] & "/" & $FileDate[1] & "/" & $FileDate[2]
            MsgBox(4096, "File:", $file)
            msgbox(0,"FILE CREATED ON", $ymd)   
            LogFile($Path)
        EndIf
        
    WEnd
 
    FileClose($Search)
EndFunc

FileGetTime () requires a full path, not just a file name.

(This is untested)
