Global File Time Overview

thierrytt1102 — Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:37:20 GMT

HI all,

Is there an easy way to retreive the file times of every QVD loaded into the data model? (but not with an individual treatment)

So that the user can see if some of the QVD are well refreshed.

I was thinking of a QV Component or something like that. !?!

Thanks for you help

Use the filetime() function:

SourceTimes:

First 1

LOAD filename() as FileName , filetime() as FileTime FROM *.qvd (qvd);

thx Gysbert,

Useful but as you can assume, all my QVD are not in the same place 😕

So I should find a function that could list all my QVD path, store it into a table and find the file time of every QVD.

grtz

Perhaps something like this:

sub ScanFolder(Root)
    for each FileExtension in 'qvd'
        for each FoundFile in filelist( Root & '\*.' & FileExtension)
            FileList:
            Load
            '$(FoundFile)'               as [FilenameWithPath],
            FileTime('$(FileExtension)') as [FileTime]
            Autogenerate(1);
        next FoundFile
    next FileExtension
    for each SubDirectory in dirlist( Root & '\*' )
  call ScanFolder(SubDirectory)
    next SubDirectory
end sub

Call ScanFolder('.') ;
