Data Access Worldwide Knowledge Base
Article Text
This knowledge base article was written to demonstrate how you can make use of structs and arrays features that are new to Visual DataFlex as of revision 11.0.
The attached files show you how to read the directory information of a given folder (path) to an array and return the filenames plus their create date, last accessed and last write datetime values.
Note (Jan 2nd 2006)
The sample code published in November 2005 returns the filetimes as UTC as is documented at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/time_functions.asp. With the function described at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/en-us/sysinfo/base/filetimetolocalfiletime.asp the local time can be used. The function is already in the package.
The enclosures have been updated to make it all easier.
