FileGetTime returning blank

[TDS]

Could use a help here

below is my code up until the point where it errors out

my issue here is it seems like FileGetTime won't output anything
the msgbox ive inserted reports back a correct file name,  ive tried FileGetTime($File,0)   FileGetTime($File,0,0)   FileGetTime($File,0,1)  ect ,

I cannot seem to get $FDate to read as anything despite $file being valid, I'm sure I'm missing something simple, any ideas?

error is ""C:\Temp\AutoIT Tempfolder.au3" (27) : ==> Subscript used on non-accessible variable.:"  which makes me think maybe $FDate is being declared wrong

#include <Date.au3>
#include <Excel.au3>

$iTodaysDate = _NowCalc()


$search = FileFindFirstFile("C:\temp\runningprogress\*.csv")

; Check if the search was successful
If $search = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "No files/directories matched the search pattern")
    winclose("C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe")
    Exit
EndIf

While 1
     $file = FileFindNextFile($search)
    If @error Then ExitLoop
     $FDate = FileGetTime($file, 0)
    msgbox(0,"",$file & " " & $FDate) ; inserted for troubleshooting

    $FileDate = $FDate[0] & "/" & $FDate[1] & "/" & $FDate[2] & " " & $FDate[3] & ":" & $FDate[4] & ":" & $FDate[5]
    If _DateDiff('D', $FileDate, $iTodaysDate) < 2 Then
        FileCopy($file, "C:\temp\currentday\" &  $file, 1)
    EndIf
WEnd

Success:    an array or string that contains the file time information. See Remarks.
Failure:    sets the @error flag to non-zero.

$FDate = FileGetTime($file, 0)
If @error Then ; inserted for troubleshooting
    ConsoleWrite('! error with "' & $file & '" at # ' & @ScriptLineNumber & @CRLF)
    ContinueLoop
EndIf

added example

yes, it is outputting blank /  or an error, i would assume, if I knew how to output that flag

I do not know why, $file reports back a valid file name (in your quoted message box), though it doesn't include the full path, just the file name

[TDS]

Actually I got it, it seems I had to re-insert the file path, I assumed the findnextfile was outputting a reference I could use, by putting the file path back into filegettime and appending the file name to the end it seems to work now

..you made me code it. Didn't test but that's the idea.
