I'm expecting this to be a kernel32.dll type thing since I can't see anything within Blitz itself... Simple question really, how do I determine how old a file is? Based around the idea of keeping a list up to date and grabbing the latest edition online if the local file is over 30 days old. I have a preferences file saved so I could add a "Last Updated" property but if the information's there in the system already why should I need to clog up my preferences? Thanks to anyone who can help... |edit| Actually, I could add the date in the list file itself I suppose... still not very elegant though... |edit| -=-=- Come rain or shine... |

I was going to suggest that you could execfile "dir", send the output to a text file, and get it that way.. dir thisfile.here >output.txt Then read that. But.. Apparently Vista doesn't do that anymore. *sigh* -=-=- ''Load, Next List!''

Fear not, for the knight in shiny armor comes and rescues you! Put the .decls and the .dll in the userlibs folder, and then just use it like this: I now realize that the name is a bit off since it actually checks for the date when it was last updated, but I can't be arsed changing that now. |

Pass the full path of your file to this exe via command line and the date it was created is sent to c:\output.txt eiksoft.com/wsc93151839/date.zip

Phoenix  I now realize that the name is a bit off since it actually checks for the date when it was last updated, but I can't be arsed changing that now. Actually, that should be enough... if not better than the creation date. Thanks guys
