[REBOL] Re: How to access files ' properties under Windows

From: greggirwin:mindspring at: 19-Apr-2002 11:05

hi Christophe, << I'm looking for the library where I can find the functions which access the files properties (created/modified/accessed date, attributes, ...) under Windows NT. More specifically to make a file read only or to check its read only status from a REBOL routine! >> As Holger pointed out get-modes and set-modes are what you want to use. Here's a little routine that might give you a start. attr: func [ {Return current attributes for the file.} f [file!] /with {Retrieve only selected attributes.} sel {Selected attributes to retrieve.} /avail {Return a list of attributes available for the file.} /copy {Copy all attributes, which are safe to copy, to f2.} f2 [file!] /local a ][ if with [return get-modes f sel] if avail [return get-modes f 'file-modes] if copy [ ;set-modes f2 a: get-modes f get-modes f 'copy-modes ; Core 2.5 includes full-path, which it shouldn't set-modes f2 a: get-modes f exclude get-modes f 'copy-modes [full-path] return a ] get-modes f get-modes f 'file-modes ] ; >> attr/with f 'owner-write ; == true ; >> attr/with f [creation-date owner-write] ; == [creation-date: 31-Oct-2001/12:47:51-7:00 owner-write: true] ; >> attr/avail f ; == [creation-date access-date modification-date owner-write archived hidden system f ; ull-path] ; >> attr/copy f f2 ; == [creation-date: 31-Oct-2001/12:47:51-7:00 access-date: 21-Mar-2002/0:00-7:00 modi ; fication-date: 21-Mar-2002/12:11:24-7:00 owner-... owner-write is the inverse equivalent of read-only. HTH! --Gregg
