Originated in
Troi File Plug-in 3.5
Compatibility
FileMaker Pro 17 to FileMaker Pro 21 (2024)
Considerations
You can use FileMaker styled paths, like “filewin:/C:/MyFiles/test.txt”.
Example
Set Field [ lastAccessedDate ; TrFile_GetDateLastAccessed ( "-Unused" ; "C:\Test.txt" ) ]This may return the number 730172 which is equivalent to the date: 22 Feb. 2000.
Example 2
We assume that in your FileMaker file the following fields are defined:
lastAccessedDate date
gFilePath Global, textgFilePath should contain the path to the file, for example “D:\Logs\L2000_01.TXT” (Windows) or “Mac HD:Logs:Log 2000_01” (Mac). In a script add the following script step:
Set Field [ lastAccessedDate ; TrFile_GetDateLastAccessed ( "-Unused" ; gFilePath ) ]This will store the date the file, specified by gFilePath, was opened for the last time in the field lastAccessedDate.
