Calculate with FileTime

[Rukbunker]

Hello Oleg,

My programming skills are not that good, so thatshwy I try it here!

I want to compare the FileTime of a file with the date of today. If the file has not been modified/created on current date, a variable should be written, like "False" or whatever.
If the FileTime equals the date of today, then it's good. The time in this case is not important, only the date (in fact: only the day) is important.

I was trying to fill a variable with the value of FileTime(File) and SubStr, but it didn't worked out.

Can you help me?

You can calculate the date by format
{DateTimeToFormat({Date},yyyymmdd)}
{DateTimeToFormat({ftime},yyyymmdd)}

You will get the string as this 20170207

Of course you can compare it with another similar string.

Look at my example below
Save the text of the task to a file and use menu Task->Import to import the task into RoboTask.

Code: Select all

;* RoboTask Task file
