File Check/Atributes

[MeTTa@]

Say i have a directory of files, i want to make a list (in text) of
A: file name
B: Date Modified
C: file size
for all the files.

I want to check the whole directory, anyone know anything i could start off with? Thanks,

This would do. (Replace the debug.prints with your variables)

Private Sub Command1_Click()
    mydir = "c:\temp"
    file = Dir(mydir & "\*.*")
    Do While file <> ""
        file = mydir & "\" & file
        Debug.Print file
        Debug.Print FileDateTime(file)
        Debug.Print FileLen(file) & " bytes"
        file = Dir
    Loop
End Sub

I would suggest loading them into a listview. It will make things much cleaner and easier to read.

nevermind, easy. (sorry for the spammin, il edit now)

EDIT: Ok, it lists files, what about sub directories/files, i think it would get complex, but is there any tricks?

There are no tricks...it does get complex. Basically you are talking about a recursive tree walk.

Are you building your own Windows Explorer?

lol no, im making a program that compares 2 directories, 1 local, and 1 on a server. If any local changes are made, the files that are changed get uploaded.

the trick is to use pre-written code.

there are many excellent API file recursions at VBnet

Ok, good suggestion.
