 |
|
hello i have been playing with the file date and time, it works BUT it only show the current time and date AND NOT when the file was made  what i'am trying to do is have it compare the file time and date to the current time and date if its diff then do whatever if not then don't do anything. but first i have to get it to read the file time and date
what i'am doing worng?
thanks
| Code: |
%T = @DATETIME(mm dd yy t ss,)
PARSE "%H;%M;%S"@datetime(hh|mm|ss)
parse "%F;%S;%D",@file(c:\test\test.txt,FTZ)
if @file(%F,%D,%Z,%T)
INFO file time is %T
end

I see one problem at a quick glance:
| Code: |
if @file(%F,%D,%Z,%T)
Info File time is %T
end
|
Problem 1:
Your use of the @file() function. Too many commas (",").
This function only allows the use of 1 comma.
Problem 2:
The only information you are returning is the first @datetime() function.
Try returning some of the other variables that you have declared. 
Edited code:
| Code: |
%T = @DATETIME(mm dd yy t ss,)
PARSE "%H;%M;%S"@datetime(hh|mm|ss)
parse "%F;%S;%D",@file(c:\test\test.txt,FTZ)
if %F
INFO Current date/time: %T @cr()@cr()C:\Test\Test.txt:@cr()" "Path: %F@cr()" "Size: %D bytes@cr()" "Date/time: @datetime(mm/dd/yyyy tt,%S)
end
|
One other note:
You might want to compare the integer versions of the @datetime() function.
Here's an example:
| Code: |
rem *** Returns the current date and time ***
%T = @datetime()
%S = @file(C:\Test\Test.txt,T)
if @greater(%T,%S)
rem *** Do something ***
else
rem *** Do something else
end
|

Sorry Tim:
I noticed an error in my post and was editing it, I think, when you posted a reply. Try it again.

I'm not sure why this code is working that way, but it does the same thing on my computer.  I even tried the OPTION centurywindow and it didn't work either. It may be a bug in VDS @file() function.

You're comparing a float to a formatted time.
Use @datetime() for %t.
| Code: |
%T = @DATETIME()
%S = @file(C:\Test\Test.txt,T)
if @greater(%T,%S)
rem *** Do something ***
info info1
else
rem *** Do something else
info info2
end
|
Cheers, Mac

Here is the adapted code.
The only problem is that you can't just check if one date is greater then the other, because in this case only the last number makes the difference. You should calculate them all into seconds or something to let it work.
| Code: | rem *** Returns the current date and time ***
%T = @datetime(mm dd yy t ss,)
%S = @datetime(mm dd yy t ss,@file(C:\debug.log,T))
if @greater(%T,%S)
rem *** Do something ***
info info1
else
rem *** Do something else
info info2
end |
