How to get the file info

[kshea]

Hi All:

I'm trying to get the file info, such as the file size, created and modified time. I know in VB, we can use file system object like the following:

' Get the date file was created
Set fs = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject&quot
Set f = fs.GetFile (cDataFile)
LayDate = f.DateCreated
' Remove seconds from the time
LayDate = Left(LayDate, Len(LayDate) - 3)
LayDate = Replace(LayDate, " ", ",&quot

Set f = Nothing

Set fs = Nothing

But, does anyone know the equivalent code in visual c++?
Thank you in advance.

[tt]CFileStatus fs;

CFile::GetStatus("pathToFile",fs);

// all file info now in fs[/tt]

To see the members of CFileStatus, look it up on MSDN - it'll give you the create/modified/access times, file size in bytes plus all the attributes such as read-only, etc.

Yes, but that's only if you've included support for the MFC classes (which you might not want if it's only for the filestatus). I can't remember exactly which API's I used, but if you do NOT want to include MFC support let me know and I will post them when I get home.

[tt]GetFileAttributes()[/tt] and [tt]GetFileSize()[/tt] are 2 API calls you could use if you're not using MFC - there's also the [tt]GetFileInformationByHandle()[/tt] API which includes the modified/access/create times.

Thank both of you. I'm not using MFC so I used GetFileSize(), GetFileTime() and GetFileAttributes() as you posted.

Thanks again for you help.
