    Question Obscure File question

    Is there a way to read in the Created date of a file?

    Using Win32 API GetFileDate().

    Read this article from MSDN.

    This is one option:
    Code:
    #include <io.h>
    #include <ctime>
    #include <iostream>
    
    int main()
    {
      _finddata_t file;
      if ( _findfirst ( "somefile", &file ) != -1 )
        std::cout<<"The file was created on "<< ctime ( &file.time_create );
      return 0;
    }
    -Prelude
    My best code is written with the delete key.
