Compare 2 file date

[myspacee]

Hello to all,

I need to compare 2 file date to have most recent one.

Post this little script that create new file and compare date with notepad.exe :

#include <GuiConstantsEx.au3>
#include <Date.au3>
#include <WindowsConstants.au3>

$file = FileOpen("test.txt", 10)
FileClose($file)
sleep(500)

$f_timediff = _Date_Time_CompareFileTime(@Windowsdir & "\Notepad.exe", "test.txt")

msgbox(0,"",$f_timediff)

bue return an error..

anyone can correct it, please?

Please have a look at the example in the help file for _Date_Time_CompareFileTime.

You have to deliver two pointers to a $tagFILETIME structure.

But .. why don't you use FileGetTime? Something like:

$file = FileOpen("c:\temp\test.txt", 10)
FileClose($file)
sleep(500)

If FileGetTime("c:\temp\test.txt",0,1) > FileGetTime(@Windowsdir & "\Notepad.exe",0,1) Then
    MsgBox(0,"","Modification date/time of 'c:\temp\test.txt' > 'Notepad.exe'")
Else
    MsgBox(0,"","Modification date/time of 'Notepad.exe' > 'c:\temp\test.txt'")
EndIf

You need to have a look at the parameters. These are pointers!
