llewxam Posted February 5, 2011 Posted February 5, 2011 I had to figure this out for a recent tweak on my Sync Tool script, not sure if it will be useful for anyone else or any other purpose but thought I'd share it.

xavierh Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 I can think of a simple way to compare 2 file dates. Just create a string of format YYMMDDHHMMSS from the file date array of each file, then compare the values numerically example: $arTime1 = FileGetTime ( $SourceFoundFile ) $SrcFileTime = $arTime1 [ 0 ] & $arTime1 [ 1 ] & $arTime1 [ 2 ] & $arTime1 [ 3 ] & $arTime1 [ 4 ] & $arTime1 [ 5 ] $arTime2 = FileGetTime ( $TargetFile ) $TgtFileTime = $arTime2 [ 0 ] & $arTime2 [ 1 ] & $arTime2 [ 2 ] & $arTime2 [ 3 ] & $arTime2 [ 4 ] & $arTime2 [ 5 ] if $SrcFileTime > $TgtFileTime Then FileCopy ( $SourceFile, $TargetFile )
ReFran Posted August 25, 2011 Posted August 25, 2011 @xavierh Only as remarK: FileGetTime ( "filename" [, option [, format]] ) where format 1 = return a string YYYYMMDDHHMMSS That I change normally to the more practical format: YYYYMMDD.HHMMSS br, Reinhard
llewxam Posted August 26, 2011 Author Posted August 26, 2011 (edited) I have re-written this recently, it turns out that I made it MUCH harder than it should have been. Melba23 pointed out FileGetTime, and I am still not quite sure how I missed it while looking through the help file Switching isn't really "recommended" as the original worked well, but this one is definitely a lot simpler! Be warned though that the syntax has changed slightly due to the functions in Date.au3 having different values used for Create, Access, and Modify. Enjoy Ian Func _CompareFileTimeEx($hSource, $hDestination, $iMethod) ;Parameters ....: $hSource - Full path to the first file ; $hDestination - Full path to the second file ; $iMethod - 0 The date and time the file was modified ; 1 The date and time the file was created ; 2 The date and time the file was accessed ;Return values .: -1 The Source file time is earlier than the Destination file time ; 0 The Source file time is equal to the Destination file time ; 1 The Source file time is later than the Destination file time ;Author ........: Ian Maxwell (llewxam @ AutoIt forum) $aSource = FileGetTime($hSource, $iMethod, 0) $aDestination = FileGetTime($hDestination, $iMethod, 0) For $a = 0 To 5 If $aSource[$a] <> $aDestination[$a] Then If $aSource[$a] < $aDestination[$a] Then Return -1 Else Return 1 EndIf EndIf Next Return 0 EndFunc ;==>_CompareFileTimeEx edit: Oh, one nice improvement is that no other Includes are needed any more, so another plus for simplicity....

coles Posted February 25, 2016 Posted February 25, 2016 @llewxam i am only few days older in Autoit World, so any script is new for me I am after something similar what i am trying to achieve is modify the code so that it checks i.html's date in G drive (if the files are older) and it over writes with new file from the source. What the code does is maps the system by getting IP address from $address and copies file into the drive. func latestIndexHTML($address, $name) Local $result Local $hFileIndexHTML DriveMapDel ( "G:" ) ConsoleWrite('Trying: ' & $address & "/" & $name & @CRLF); $result = DriveMapAdd ( "G:", "\\" & $address & "\C$", 0, $name & "\admin","adminpswd") if $result = 1 Then FileCopy( "C:\a\i.html", "G:\Program Files\L\LC\", 1); ConsoleWrite('Copying I.html file: ' & $address & @CRLF); $hFileIndexHTML = FileOpen("C:\a\ihtml.txt", 1) FileWrite($hFileIndexHTML, $address & @CRLF) FileClose($hFileIndexHTML) EndIf EndFunc any help will be really great
llewxam Posted February 25, 2016 Author Posted February 25, 2016 What you would do is use one of the above methods prior to FileCopy to compare the 2 file's dates (by last modified date), and if your source file is newer than the destination file, go ahead with the FileCopy. I'm not seeing what value $hFileIndexHTML should have, but you get the idea.

coles Posted February 28, 2016 Posted February 28, 2016 @llewxam thank you 4 the reply, $hFileIndexHTML opens a txt file inputs the address of the system in which copying was successful and closes it.
