DREAMWEAVER CS3 9 API Reference var fileURL = "file:///c|/temp/mydata.txt"; var str = DWfile.getAttributes(fileURL); if (str && (str.indexOf("R") != -1)){ alert(fileURL + " is read only!"); } DWfile.getModificationDate() Availability Dreamweaver 2. Description This function gets the time when the file was last modified. Arguments fileURL • The fileURL argument, which is expressed as a file:// URL, is the file for which you are checking the last modified time. Returns A string that contains a hexadecimal number that represents the number of time units that have elapsed since some base time. The exact meaning of time units and base time is platform-dependent; in Windows, for example, a time unit is 100ns, and the base time is January 1st, 1600. Example It's useful to call the function twice and compare the return values because the value that this function returns is platform-dependent and is not a recognizable date and time. The following code example gets the modification dates of file1.txt and file2.txt and displays an alert message that indicates which file is newer: var file1 = "file:///c|/temp/file1.txt"; var file2 = "file:///c|/temp/file2.txt"; var time1 = DWfile.getModificationDate(file1); var time2 = DWfile.getModificationDate(file2); if (time1 == time2){ alert("file1 and file2 were saved at the same time"); }else if (time1 < time2){ alert("file1 older that file2"); }else{ alert("file1 is newer than file2"); } DWfile.getCreationDate() Availability Dreamweaver 4. Description This function gets the time when the file was created. Arguments fileURL
