- Gregg Irwin's Freeware File Stamper
- -----------------------------------
- The timestamp on a file is often one of the first things you
- check when you think there's a problem with a file. Being able
- to "tag" your files with a specific date/time makes it easier
- to identify bogus files quickly and easily, it also adds that
- "professional" air to your app when all your files have the
- same timestamp. So make your VB apps (and all your other apps)
- look more professional and forget trying to remember if version
- one was built at 03:24:17. You can use the timestamp as a
- version tag too.
-
- Version 1.0 = 01:00:00
- Version 1.01 = 01:01:00
- Version 1.1 = 01:10:00
- Version 2.0 = 02:00:00
-
-
- -----------------------------------
- How to do it
- -----------------------------------
- 1) Start File Stamper (it only runs as an icon)
-
- 2) Use the Set Stamp Date menu option to set the
- desired timestamp information.
-
- 3) Drag files from File Manager and and drop
- them on File Stamper.
-
- 4) You're done. What could be easier?
-
- -----------------------------------
- How *else* to do it
- -----------------------------------
- File Stamper 1.1 supports command line parameters to facilitate
- automatic, or batch, processing. The parameters it expects are
- FileSpec, Date, and Time, in no particular order. Each parameter
- should be separated by a space, formatted as follows:
-
- FileSpec /d<date> /t<time>
-
- FileSpec assumes *.* if none is given. If a drive or directory
- is specified then it assumes ?:\*.* so you can just say "B:\"
- to stamp all files in B:\.
-
- The Date(/d) and Time(/t) switches are optional. If they are
- omitted then the current date and/or time is used. Internally
- the DateValue and TimeValue functions are used so international
- date formats are supprted. [If you use AM or PM with the Time
- then do *not* separate it with a space (i.e. use 12:00:00AM,
- and not 12:00:00 AM)]
-
- If a command line is detected then no window is displayed and
- File Stamper will terminate as soon as the last file is stamped.
