Question
How do I change the modified time of a file?
Answers
Unfortunately, this can't be done through ASP. The dateLastModified property of the FileSystemObject is read-only.
However, if it's a text-based file, you could read in the contents of the file, delete the file, and re-create it. That
would alter the create *and* modify time of the file, and might not be the desired result. Here is the code to do
this in VBScript:
<%
Sub Touch(filename)
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set fs = fso.openTextFile filename,1,true
f = fs.readAll()
fs.close: set fs = nothing
fso.deleteFile filename,true
set fs = fso.createTextFile filename,true
fs.writeline(f)
fs.close: set fs = nothing
set fso = nothing
End Sub
Call Touch(Server.MapPath("/somefile.htm"))
Call Touch("c:somefile.txt")
%>
Another alternative is to use touch.exe, which you can get from the NT or Windows 2000 Resource Kit.
