Re: Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
Windows unfortunately does not include such a command line tool, but it should
be possible to do that with a powershell command which is executed with the
Shell() function.
so for example this command here
put shell("powershell (ls c:/users/matthias/test.txt).CreationTime = get-date
2019-12-24-00:00")
would change the creation date of the file c:/users/matthias/test.txt) to the
24th December 2019 at 00:00
If you want to change the last modification time instead of the creation time
then use the parameter LastWriteTime instead of CreationTime
put shell("powershell (ls c:/users/matthias/test.txt).LastWriteTime = get-date
2019-12-24-00:00")

Re: Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
On Mac or Linux you can use the "touch" shell command - not sure if it's available on Windows. You can download the "Shell Command Help" LC plugin to simplify access to info about it.

Re: Printing borked for LC Linux?
I understand, for me no issue. But for a novice, or an elderly someone with very minor knowledge about computers that is already an obstacle. They can find the print icon, that's about it. Op 12-3-2021 om 01:20 schreef Bob Sneidar via use-livecode: As a print device specialist, I can tell you that printing directly from a web browser, be it a PDF or a web page or anything, is problematic. It is ALWAYS better to produce a PDF then print from a real PDF product. Web browsers give you printing as an afterthought. “Oh you want to print too?? Uh… okay here you go.” Bob S On Mar 11, 2021, at 12:25 PM, JeeJeeStudio via use-livecode mailto:use-livecode@lists.runrev.com>> wrote: Not just LC. If you try to print a Gmail message in Firefox on Ubuntu Mate, then it creates also a pdf which is not getting printed. Doing the same in chrome and it prints correct. Printing from Firefox to pdf, then open the pdf in the standard pdf reader, it prints also correct. This was with a Canon inkjet, but there are also issues with other brands. In this it looks like Firefox is doing something weird. ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode ___ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
Setting Creation Date of file to a past date?
Hi there I want to create/export some images from Livecode to fit into a slideshow that is sorted by creation date. It means that the files I export shall have a creation date of the past. So that when they are put into the folder of the slideshow, the images are placed automatically at the desired places.

Re: How to escape wildcard chars - and find the offset of a '?' in a URL?
Solved! Thanks for responding & testing this Håkan.
I'm glad to hear that the ‘?’ is a regular character in this context and it’s
the usual 'pilot error’! Tracing backwards I spotted a stray extra quote in the
line defining tURL, which wasn’t rejected on save.
I’ll be glad when I can get back to a colour IDE - it’s so hard to spot syntax
errors in the monochrome script editor I see with 9.6.1 on Big Sur.
Cheers,
Keith

Works for me too, but... are those 'smart quotes' in your first example?

Hmm, strange! For me it works without problems:
put "https://www.mysite.com/?some=parameters=folllow; into tURL
put offset("?", tURL)
Returns 24

I get zero returned by put offset(“?”, tURL) and put offset( "?\",tURL) and put offset( numToCodepoint(Ux003F),tURL) throws errors.
