i was wondering if anyone could give me a few pointers on how to cover come a problem
i am wanting to create a program that will check 2 files that are the same but are in 2 different locations for example a file on the Hard Drive and another file on a memory stick - find the most recent file and save that in both locations again.
can anyone give me any pointers on how to do this?
Thanks
And your Operating System is...?
If it's Windows use file time functions & copyfile(), MSDN is your friend

Scroll down to the end.
As well as listing files, it also shows how to get dates and times.
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
You could also use CRC to check if they're identical.
Yes, but how would you be sure which of the 2 is newest?Originally Posted by l2u
