Directory +INFO

[James Zukowski]

According to the documentation, we can get detailed file information by opening a directory with opt="+INFO". This provides:

• File name
• File type ("F" for file, "D" for directory)
• File size in bytes
• Date created
• Date last modified
• Date last accessed

I'm presuming this is the order the data comes back in. If that's the case, how can I get a Creation date that's after the Last Modified date?

Thanks for any clarifications.

Hi James,

That can happen if the file is a copy of another file. The copy of the file gets a new 'creation date', but keeps the original 'last modified' date.  That's what happens on Windows, not sure if it's the same on Linux.

Hope that helps!

I can confirm after looking at the code that that order in the doc is correct.
