[Dev-C++] Getting the File Date

[Wayne J M. <wj...@ul...>]

Hey,
 
Just wondering if it is possible to get a file's last modified date, or the
created date ?  I need this for a server side project that I am working on,
but the program will have to check the actual date of the file.  How can I
do this in C or C++ using MS Windows ?

You can use stat function to get all the attributes of a file. It
includes, file size, creation time, modification time, access time, etc.

  Try This:


  #include <dir.h>
  #include <io.h>


  union FF
  {
   unsigned i[2];
   struct ftime f;
  } u;

  main()
  {
   struct ffblk ff;

   findfirst("tc.exe", &ff, 0);
   u.i[0]=3D ff.ff_ftime;
   u.i[1]=3D ff.ff_fdate;
   printf("date=3D %d/%d/%d   time=3D %d:%d:%d\n",
    u.f.ft_month, u.f.ft_day, u.f.ft_year+80,
    u.f.ft_hour, u.f.ft_min, u.f.ft_tsec);

   return 0;
  }
