Reading File Create Date in C++

[JohnConklin]

Hello,

I am new to C++ programming and need some help.

I am confused on to read the file create date of any files stored in a directory on my computer.

I need to read the file create date, and if the file is older than 48 hours I want to delete the file.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,
John Conklin

You could either use GetFileAttributesEx or FindFirstFile

WIN32_FILE_ATTRIBUTE_DATA FileData;
BOOL bRet = GetFileAttributesEx(_T("c:\\test.txt&quot, GetFileExInfoStandard,
&FileData);

or

WIN32_FIND_DATA FindData;
HANDLE hFind = FindFirstFile("c:\\test.txt", &FindData);
