code to get file attributes

[Dale Fye]

Am looking for some code (would prefer API calls over FileSystem object) to
allow me to get the size, date created, data modified, and any other
available attributes for a file that I know name and path of.

Anybody know where I can find some examples?

You can get/set a file's three dates using this:

For the rest, look up GetAttr and SetAttr in help.

Depending on what you are after, take a look at

getattr
filelen
filedatetime

in the help. Or for API see
