[Solved] back up and restore the modified date

[xnmp]

Hi, i want to back up and restore the modified date, created date of files (based on the filepath )
(I'm going to edit some files, and restore their date after editing )
for example i run "backup" and the script store the data into a text file like this

Code: Select all

 file | date modified | date created
e:\test1\a.jpg  | 5/3/2016 4:29:29 PM  | 5/3/2016 4:32:52 PM
e:\test2\b.jpg  | 5/3/2016 11:25:52 AM | 5/3/2016 11:25:52 AM

(or any other forms )
Then i run "restore" the script would read the text file and restore the modified date, created date of listed files
Any help would be much appreciated
Thank you

If you're using backupto for the backup as well as for the restore with preserve dates you shouldn't need to change the dates after the restore.

Code: Select all

"_Initialize"
    global $logFile = "<curpath>\dates.txt";

"Backup file dates..."
    global $logFile;
    $logContent = "";
    foreach($file, <get SelectedItemsPathNames |>) {
        if (exists($file) != 1) { continue; }
        $created  = property("#date.c", $file);
        $modified = property("#date.m", $file);
        $logContent = $logContent . "$file|$created|$modified<crlf>";
    }
    writefile($logFile, $logContent);

"Restore file dates..."
    global $logFile;
    $logContent = readfile($logFile);
    foreach($line, $logContent, <crlf>) {
        $file     = gettoken($line, 1, "|");
        $created  = gettoken($line, 2, "|");
        $modified = gettoken($line, 3, "|");
        if (exists($file) != 1) { continue; }
        timestamp "c", $created, $file;
        timestamp "m", $modified, $file;
    }

Hi highend,
Thank you very much for the help, ireally appreciate your effort
i 've just tried it , the modified and created date in list is differrent from the date propertiers in xyplorer
here is the result in text file

Code: Select all

E:\Temp\X3HA_01_01_01.unity3d|5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM|5/11/2015 8:35:13 AM
E:\Temp\X3HA_01_01_02.unity3d|5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM|5/11/2015 8:35:13 AM
E:\Temp\X3HH_01_01_00.unity3d|5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM|5/11/2015 8:35:13 AM
E:\Temp\X3HH_01_01_01.unity3d|5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM|5/11/2015 8:35:13 AM
E:\Temp\Yaz.unity3d|5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM|5/11/2015 8:35:13 AM

And here is what i copied from xyplorer propertiers (created/modified like in your script),the order is the same with the list file

Code: Select all

  (E:\Temp\X3HA_01_01_01.unity3d) 5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM | 5/11/2015 8:35:13 AM
  (E:\Temp\X3HA_01_01_02.unity3d) 5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM | 5/11/2015 8:35:04 AM
 (E:\Temp\X3HH_01_01_00.unity3) 4/29/2016 3:22:05 PM | 5/11/2015 8:34:36 AM
(E:\Temp\X3HH_01_01_01.unity3d) 5/5/2016 3:11:40 PM | 5/11/2015 8:35:07 AM  
 (E:\Temp\Yaz.unity3d) 5/5/2016 3:14:41 PM | 3/26/2015 10:51:56 PM

i have no idea why it 's so different, especially in the last line
Again,thank you very much

I see.

Use this instead:

Code: Select all

"_Initialize"
    global $logFile = "<curpath>\dates.txt";

"Backup file dates..."
    global $logFile;
    $logContent = "";
    foreach($file, <get SelectedItemsPathNames |>) {
        if (exists($file) != 1) { continue; }
        $created  = property("#date.c", $file);
        $modified = property("#date.m", $file);
        $logContent = $logContent . "$file|$created|$modified<crlf>";
    }
    writefile($logFile, $logContent);

"Restore file dates..."
    global $logFile;
    $logContent = readfile($logFile);
    foreach($line, $logContent, <crlf>) {
        $file     = gettoken($line, 1, "|");
        $created  = gettoken($line, 2, "|");
        $modified = gettoken($line, 3, "|");
        if (exists($file) != 1) { continue; }
        timestamp "c", $created, $file;
        timestamp "m", $modified, $file;
    }
