manipulate date on files

I have a problem how do i write back the c_file.time_write to the files ?

Code:

---

if( (hFile = _findfirst( "*.bmp", &c_file )) == -1L )
      printf( "No *. bmp files in current directory!\n" );
  else
  {

          c_file.time_write = rand(lDateTime);
  }

while( _findnext( hFile, &c_file ) == 0 )
            {
                  c_file.time_write = rand(lDateTime);
            }

---

Basically i need to change the dates to random values if there is a way please tell me anyone

Well we could spend some time guessing your OS and compiler...

Sorry salem its Windows and my compiler is Dev C++

findfirst() is a Windows function, with legacy dating back to the days of MS-DOS.

Do u have any idea how can i set the dates to what ever i like ? i dont have to use thoes functions

Which is in itself ironic, since they seem to be using a win32 compiler on a win32 OS.

Read xtree.cpp at the end.
Then look for related API calls on msdn.microsoft.com until you find the one for changing attributes.

its not win32 but a console

It's still the win32 API though.
Did you read the FAQ?
Did you see #include <windows.h> in the xtree.cpp example?
