Re: How to get date of file in script

freddyp,
Yes it does have the files. I was thinking since it is an array, maybe theFiles variable would contain more info than just the name.

I was hoping for each file (2) I could maybe get the date last modified info for each file in variables.

Re: How to get date of file in script

Hello,
I am using legacy scripting. I am a novice when it comes to scripting, especially Node.js and Typescript.

I have done lots of scripts in Powershell.

If i use node.js, i cannot create/edit in the SwitchScripter, correct?
