Compare the saved file time value to
the current file time value...
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Code:

LIST CREATE, 1

if @file(c:\whatever.txt)
   LIST LOADFILE, 1, c:\whatever.txt
else
   LIST ADD, 1, @file(c:\test\test.txt, T)
   LIST SAVEFILE,  1, c:\whatever.txt
end

if @greater(@file(c:\test\test.txt, T), @item(1,0))
   INFO FILE HAS CHANGED!
else
   INFO Same old file...
end

Cheers, Mac Smile

It shouldn't be a problem...

You don't have to run it twice every time,
just the first time to start a record file...

Actually it makes the record file the very first time,
it just has no new info to compare that first time.

well i have been playing with it and its still does not work right....

ok do this make a file called test then run that program, then edit that test file added more to it...save it then run that code even if you run it twice it will say file "file has changed" even tho the file is 5 mins old.....meaning you made the NEW file at 10:50 and nows its 10:55 it should say "same old file"




i hope i explain this right

Isn't it easier if you use the @ask() function to ask the user for input??? Smile

Tim, the code above works perfectly.

Here's another example (using the same code as
above with less confusing filenames hopefully). I
added code to update the record file as needed
(sorry, I thought you understood what we're doing
here...). Check that your filenames are correct.

Create a file c:\test.txt, run this code, edit
c:\test.txt and run this code again. It works.

Code:

if @file(c:\record.txt)
   LIST LOADFILE, 1, c:\record.txt
else
   LIST ADD, 1, @file(c:\test.txt, T)
   LIST SAVEFILE,  1, c:\record.txt
end

rem -- Here's a visual check --
INFO @file(c:\test.txt, T)@cr()@cr()@item(1,0)

if @greater(@file(c:\test.txt, T), @item(1,0))
   INFO FILE HAS CHANGED!
   LIST CLEAR, 1
   LIST ADD, 1, @file(c:\test.txt, T)
   LIST SAVEFILE,  1, c:\record.txt
else
   INFO Same old file...
end

Cheers, Mac

The other example was showing how to do the
comparison.

I had already mentioned updating the record
file when the file time/date changes, so I just
assumed you'd add code to do that... Wink
