Script to check file date then send email

[r0ssd 0]

Hello, I am quite new to Autoit and what I am trying to do is slightly beyond me at the moment so hoping someone can help!

Basically I want a script to check the last modified date of a file and if it is over 1 day then send an email alert.

I have a similar script which I was trying to modify which will scan a file for a certain word then send an email alert.

#include <INet.au3>

$TextFileName = "file path"

$s_SmtpServer = "email server"

$s_FromName = "user name"

$s_FromAddress = "user@email.com"

$s_ToAddress = "user2@email.com"

$s_Subject = "Subject"

Dim $as_Body[2]

$as_Body[0] = "Message text line 1"

$as_Body[1] = "Message text line 2"

; First we read the text file

$Log = FileRead($TextFileName)

; Put the contents into an array

$pageArray = StringSplit($Log, @CRLF)

; Now go through the array and look for the word failure if its found send and email

For $i = 1 To $pageArray[0]

If StringInStr($pageArray[$i], $findtext) Then $Response = _INetSmtpMail ($s_SmtpServer, $s_FromName, $s_FromAddress, $s_ToAddress, $s_Subject, $as_Body, @computername, -1)

Next

I know I will need to include date.au3 and use the FileGetTime function but I'm a bit stuck trying to combine everything.

Any help greatly appreciated.

Cheers

Hi r0ssd,

what you are looking for is FileGetTime() and _DateDiff(). With these two functions you can build what you want to do.

Well, this is not the most handsome solution, but it works:

#Include <Date.au3>

$t1 = FileGetTime("test.cmd", 0, 1)
ConsoleWrite($t1 & @CRLF)
$t2 = StringReplace(StringReplace(StringReplace(_DateAdd("D", -1, _NowCalc()),":", "")," ", ""), "/", "")
If $t1 < $t2 Then
    ConsoleWrite( $t1 &" < "& $t2 & @CRLF)
Else
    ConsoleWrite( $t1 &" > "& $t2 & @CRLF)
EndIf

Thanks Hannes, got it working now!

Thanks Hannes, got it working now!

r0ssd, could you please kindly paste the whole code you used to do it? I've been trying to do this exact thing with a .bat file for a while, but with no success.

Thank you!
