_Date_Time_GetFileTime() is returning UTC?

[rudi]

Hello

to retrieve the "MILLISECONDS" as well I modified some lines from "DATE.AU3".

 

It's working fine, except that the function seems to return the UTC time stamp of the file checked?

 

 

_NowCalc is returning local time (DST is active right now), so a direct "Age Check" against _NowCalc() is not possible.

 

What's the best / safest approach to convert either UTC to "current local time incuding DST" or vice versa? _Date_Time_GetTimeZoneInformation() ???

#include-once
#include <Date.au3>


$File="C:\temp\TimeTest.txt"
$f=FileOpen($File,2+8)
FileWriteLine($f,_NowCalc())
FileClose($f)


_NowCalc()


$Content=FileRead($File)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $Content = ' & $Content & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console
$TS=FileGetTSstringLastModifiedWithMS($File)
ConsoleWrite('@@ Debug(' & @ScriptLineNumber & ') : $TS = ' & $TS & @CRLF & '>Error code: ' & @error & @CRLF) ;### Debug Console



Func FileGetTSstringLastModifiedWithMS($_FullFilePathName)
    $h = _WinAPI_CreateFile($_FullFilePathName, 2, 2)
    $aTS = _Date_Time_GetFileTime($h)
    _WinAPI_CloseHandle($h)
    $aDate = _Date_Time_FileTimeToArray($aTS[2])
    If IsArray($aDate) and UBound($aDate) > 6 Then
        Return StringFormat("%04d/%02d/%02d %02d:%02d:%02d.%03d", $aDate[2], $aDate[0], $aDate[1], $aDate[3], $aDate[4], $aDate[5], $aDate[6])
    Else
        SetError(1)
        Return
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>FileGetTSstringLastModifiedWithMS

 

_FileGetTime() is not an option, as I need the milliseconds as well, as files may show up within the same second.

<edit> It would be preferred to have a robust solution to use "local time", taking care of DST</edit>

Wouldn't it be easier to use the _Date_CompareFileTime function?
