searching error files based on time.

[UZN]

Hi,
I'm working on searching error files based on time.
I have 2 folders which have permanent and temporary error files in it, and the only difference between permanent and temporary error files is creation time. I’m searching for error files in these 2 folders and my search should only return permanent error files not the temporary ones. Here is the code snippet.

Dim searchDir2 As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\ERROR_FOLDER")        
Dim fileArray2 As IO.FileInfo() = searchDir2.GetFiles("*.error")           
Dim fileName2 As IO.FileInfo        
 For Each fileName2 In fileArray2           
 If fileName2.CreationTime.Date <= curTime Then           
 temp = fileName2.Name            
temp3 = "C:\ _ERRORS" & tempDim searchDir2 As New IO.DirectoryInfo("C:\ERROR_FOLDER")
        
Dim fileArray2 As IO.FileInfo() = searchDir2.GetFiles("*.error")



        Dim fileName2 As IO.FileInfo

        For Each fileName2 In fileArray2

            If fileArray2.CreationTime.Date <= curTime Then

            temp = fileName2.Name
            temp3 = "C:\ _ERRORS" & temp

I’m working on the if statement but not able to get it working. i want the error files whose creation time is less than 1 hour of the current time. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

The DateDiff function is very handy for comparing dates and times.

Can i use datedifference functions for Arrays? the directory info is in Array.

You would use the DateDiff function in this line of code:

If fileArray2.CreationTime.Date <= curTime Then
