vcent Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I need to compare files with dates and pick the latest one. I already have an array of files. But is there any function that can compare dates ? I'm thinking of using _Date_Time_GetFileTime to get the array files. But wondering how do you go about comparing them. tks.
