[fhutt]

Hello,
This is my first post in this forum.
Could someone give me a code segment for changing the file creation date of a file.
Thanking you

Hi

file mtime name ?time?
Returns a decimal string giving the time at which file name was last modified. If time is specified, it is a modification time to set for the file (equivalent to Unix touch).

file mtime "milleniumparty.jpg" [clock scan "2000.01.01"]

Thanks for your reply feherke.

I should have noted that I am trying to change the file creation date of a file on a Windows XP system.

I know the file "mtime name ?time?" function. This changes the last modified date and time, NOT the file creation date.
Thanks anyway.

Hi

Hmm... Note that Tcl/Tk was designed to be platform independent. As file creation time can not be modified everywhere, I would say this possibility was lfet out intentionally. Just like setting the hidden attribute in Java.
