changing timestamps on a file

[ironpawz]

Hello people

I have a script to record all file names and timestamps for a directory. Another to change the company property for all office docs. I need to set the dates on the files back to what I have in the logs. This was all done in perl but it is not good at the last stage as I don't own the files. VBscript is probably a better candidate.

I am research so any advice including good key words or known tools/scripts etc would be helpfull. If I crack it I'll update this thread.

if your interested in the other scripts there are copies in the perl group.

thanks ppl

i'm not sure vbscript can do that.
There is a DateLastModified Property of the filesystemobject but it's readonly.

maybe you can rewrite the perl script?

I am still trying perl as it is easier for me to use. I'll try at the unix/root level soon. VBscript may have an answer. I have ways of reading the stamps in perl also.

A good dos app that handles long filenames would be good. VBscript could hand off the variables to the app and let it set the times.

I'll look at what you had might lead to something
