Return the attributes of a
specified file
This example demonstrates how to use
the Attributes property to return the attributes of a specified file.
The File object is used to return information about a specified file.
To work with the properties and methods of the File object, you will have to create an instance of the File object through the FileSystemObject object. First; create a FileSystemObject object and then instantiate the File object through the GetFile method of the FileSystemObject object or through the Files property of the Folder object.
The following code uses the GetFile method of the FileSystemObject object to instantiate the File object and the DateCreated property to return the date when the specified file was created:
<% Dim fs,f Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f=fs.GetFile("c:\test.txt") Response.Write("File created: " & f.DateCreated) set f=nothing set fs=nothing %> Output: File created: 9/19/2001 10:01:19 AM |
