File objects

File object is used to return information about the specified file.

For properties and methods related to the operation of the File object, you need to create an instance of the File object through the FileSystemObject object. First, create a FileSystemObject object and then by GetFile method of the FileSystemObject object, or property through the Files Folder object to instantiate the File object.

The following code uses the FileSystemObject object GetFile method to instantiate File object and DateCreated property to return a specified file creation date:

Examples

<%
Dim fs,f
Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f=fs.GetFile("c:\test.txt")
Response.Write("File created: " & f.DateCreated)
set f=nothing
set fs=nothing
%>
