Modern Fs FileInfo HasCreated

FileInfo.HasCreated

Returns true if the platform records creation times, so Created means something.

Syntax

FileInfo.HasCreated( )

Examples

#import "std/fs"
using fs

dim td as FsResultUStr = CreateTempDir( "fbdoc" )
dim as ustring dir_ = td.Value( )
dim as ustring p = PathJoin( dir_, "f.txt" )
WriteAllText( p, "hello" )

dim info as FileInfo = Stat( p ).Value( )

'' The guard for CreatedUtc. It reports whether the PLATFORM supplies a
'' creation time at all, not whether this file has one.
print info.HasCreated( )     '' true on Windows

'' Without the guard, a missing value reads as tick 0 -- which is a
'' perfectly valid date, and therefore a silent lie

RemoveDirAll( dir_ )
