how to get a file's modified date/time and size in bytes?

[SMcNeill]

Well, for a single file, you can use this...
(Here the code do not test if the file exist !)

Thanks, I will give that a try when at the computer!

wmic DataFile where "Name='D:\\Path\\To\\myfile.txt'" get LastModified /VALUE

Thanks - is this a command line thing? Can you show how to get that in a variable in a QB64PE program?

Code: (Select All)

Shell "wmic DataFile where " + Chr$(34) + "Name='Z:\\foo.pdf'" + Chr$(34) + " get LastModified /VALUE > temp.txt"

_Delay .5

Open "temp.txt" For Input As #1

Do

    Line Input #1, temp$

    Print temp$

Loop Until EOF(1)

Close

You may get the results back in wide format, so you might want to strip spaces out, depending on your OS settings.
