How to touch file 4

[bluray]

Hello all,

Is it possible to 'touch' a file programmatically with vbscript/wsh? - that is, change the accessed/modified date of the file?

I know there are tools avaibable to do this, (

- but I'd like to have a stand alone script do it, if possible.

Thanks!

something like this:

ModFileDT "c:\a_temp", "test.txt", "1/01/2007 4:18:02 PM"

Function ModFileDT(strDir, strFileName, DateTime)
     
    Dim objShell, objFolder
    
    Set objShell = CreateObject("Shell.Application")
    Set objFolder = objShell.NameSpace(strDir)
    objFolder.Items.Item(strFileName).ModifyDate = DateTime
End Function

i have to give credit to dm4ever for having done this. he needs a star.
