The File I/O API 275
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
You can call this function and the DWfile.getModificationDate() function on a file to
compare the modification date to the creation date.
var file1 = "file:///c|/temp/file1.txt";
var time1 = DWfile.getCreationDate(file1);
var time2 = DWfile.getModificationDate(file1);
if (time1 == time2){
alert("file1 has not been modified since it was created");
}else if (time1 < time2){
alert("file1 was last modified on " + time2);
}
