Processing a file after getting a path

[Ingwie Phoenix]

Hey there.

I have a small problem… After creating an Fl_Native_File_Chooser and finally obtaining a file path, I need to get to know it’s last modified timestamp. On UNIX, one uses the stat functions. But what is on Win32? I am a bit lost there.

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Kind regards,
Ingwie.

Hi, you can use GetFileAttributesEx()

Why not use stat?

Note that stat works on Win32 as well; they (more or less) support a set of posix API's that work the way you'd expect.


You might need to check how your compiler / headers handle that - internally MS call the function "_stat" so you might need to add an

#ifdef _WIN32
# ifndef stat
# define stat _stat
# endif
#endif // WIN32

or similar to make it compile; thereafter it pretty much Just Works.
