File Datestamp

[BobLoblaws]

I have a W32 console app, and I need to get the Created and Modified datestamps of a file (C:\Temp\Test.txt).
I have no idea how to get it, and any help is greatly appreciated.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

you got to use the "WIN32_FIND_DATA" structure;

#include<windows.h>
.....
...
WIN32_FIND_DATA file;
HANDLE hFile;
if (( hFile = FindFirstFile( &quot;C:\\Temp\\Test.txt&quot;,&file ))
== INVALID_HANDLE_VALUE )
{
cout<<&quot;Invalid File Handle.&quot;<<endl;
exit(0);
}
DWORD t_created; // time when the file was created in nanoseconds
DWORD t_modified; // the last time it was modified in nanoseconds
t_created = file.ftCreationTime.dwLowDateTime;
t_modified = file.ftLastWriteTime.dwLowDateTime;
