Property Value
A Date object that stores the file's creation date.
Example
The code below creates a file, writes some data to it and reads the file's content. After that, it posts the time when the file was created, last modified and last accessed to the test log and deletes the file.
JavaScript, JScript
function GetTimeExample()
{
var sPath = "C:\\Temp\\TempFile.txt";
// Creates a file
aqFile.Create(sPath);
var FileInf = aqFileSystem.GetFileInfo(sPath);
// Delays the script execution
Delay(2000);
// Writes data to the file
FileInf.WriteToTextFile("Hello, World!", aqFile.ctANSI);
// Delays the script execution
Delay(2000);
// Reads the file's content
FileInf.ReadWholeTextFile(aqFile.ctANSI);
// Posts the file's creation time to the test log
Log.Message( FileInf.DateCreated );
// Posts the file's last write time to the test log
Log.Message( FileInf.DateLastModified );
// Posts the file's last access time to the test log
Log.Message( FileInf.DateLastAccessed );
// Deletes the file
FileInf.Delete();
}
