Touch() - v0.1

Function for AutoHotkey to set, store and restore the datetime stamp of a file or folder. Useful when you are modifying files and you want to keep the original datetime stamp. The datetime stamp properties are stored in a static object.

Touch(file = "" [, set = "0", WhichTime = "M", Reference = "0"] )

Options:

• file: file name to (re)store the datetime stamp of. If you want to "delete" all stored settings, simply call Touch() to clear the static object.
• Set:
  • 0: Update the datetime stamp of a file or folder to current datetime making it a simple shorthand for the FileSetTime command. (this is the default if the parameter is blank or omitted)
  • 1: Store the datetime stamp of a file or folder
  • 2: Restore the datetime stamp of a file or folder
  • 3: Update the datetime stamp of a file or folder which was previously stored using Set=1
• WhichTime: Which timestamp to get/set. Value: M, C, or A
  • M: Modification time (this is the default if the parameter is blank or omitted)
  • C: Creation time
  • A: Last access time
