setting a file's date & time properties 1

[biot023]

Hallo - having copied a file with binary filestreams, I now want to set the date & time properties of the copied file to match the original file.
(The properties as seen in the struct ffblk.)
I've run a couple of searches that went nowhere - does anyone have any ideas?

Cheers,

Have you looked at FileGetDate() and FileSetDate()? These need file handles but they should do what you want. BTW, there are several file/directory routines in the SYSUtils.h header. There was a four part series in C++ Developers Journal a couple of year ago. See

That looks about right to me - cheers, man! Common sense is what tells you the world is flat.
