Well, I can't give you the answer, but I think I can point you in the right direction.
I had an idea that perhaps this information is stored as an alternate Data Stream. I capitalized that because it's a special concept in NTFS. Anyway, I ran a script called "streams.pl" (from David Roth's book, "Win32 Perl Scripting") on a test file where I had modified the "Title" property and sure enough, I found a stream called "?SummaryInformation". Note the special character in the beginning. I have no idea how to access this stream. I tried running another script from Roth's book called "streamdump.pl" using that exact name, but I got an error. Anyway, my advice would be to do some searching on Microsoft's TechNet on the subject of "streams" and "SummaryInformation". Or maybe something like +"file streams" +"SummaryInformation" on Google. Good luck, and post back if you find anything. P.S. No - I didn't find anything useful in Win32, Win32API::File, Win32::AdminMisc, nor Win32::NetAdmin. > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of > Phillips Thomas E Contr AFMC/ITON > Sent: Friday, April 16, 2004 2:49 PM > To: '[EMAIL PROTECTED]' > Subject: Setting extended File Properties > > > > > Does anyone have any examples of or know how to change the extended > properties of a file (Comment, Title, Subject, Keywords, > etc.) from within > Perl? > > Have been looking at Win32::OLE, but I have not been able to > view or change > these extended properties. > > Thank you, > Tom > _______________________________________________ > Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs > _______________________________________________ Perl-Win32-Admin mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe: http://listserv.ActiveState.com/mailman/mysubs
