Result
The returned result is the time the file was last accessed. The time is in the same format as a time field (number of seconds since 00:00:00).
An error code might also be returned. An error always starts with 2 dollars, followed by the error code. Returned error codes can be:
| $$-43 | fnfErr | File not found, check if the path is valid |
| $$-1 | genericErr | The file could not be found (older versions of the plug-in) |
Other errors may be returned.
Originated in
Troi File Plug-in 3.5
Compatibility
FileMaker Pro 16 to 19
Considerations
On Windows some file systems (FAT) only store the actual Date of the last access. The time in this case will be 00:00:00. See the TrFile_GetDateLastAccessed in this case.
Example
Set Field [ lastAccessedTime ; TrFile_GetTimeLastAccessed ( "-Unused" ; "C:\Test.txt" ) ]This might return the number 7264 which is equivalent to the time: 02:01:04.
Example 2
We assume that in your FileMaker file the following fields are defined:
lastAccessedTime time
gFilePath Global, textgFilePath should contain the path to the file for example “D:\Logs\L01.TXT” (Windows) or “Mac HD:Logs:Log 1” (Mac). In a script add the following script step:
Set Field [ lastAccessedTime ; TrFile_GetTimeLastAccessed ( "-Unused" ; gFilePath ) ]This will store the time the file, specified by gFilePath, was openend for the last time in the field lastAccessedTime.
