- FD (File Date)
-
-
- Description: Sets or clears the date stamp or time stamp or both on
- selected files.
-
-
- Syntax: Version 4.5: FD [(drive:)][(path)][(filespec)] [/D(date)]
- [/T(time)] [/S] [/P]
-
-
- Parameters:
-
- (drive:) The single-letter specifier (A:, B:, C:, etc.) for the drive
- you want to use. Follow the letter with a colon. The current
- drive is the default.
-
- (path) The full name (C:\WP\LETTERS) of the directory you want to
- process. The current directory for the designated drive is the
- default.
-
- (filespec) The name of the file whose date stamp or time stamp you want
- to set or clear. The default (filespec) is *.*.
-
- /D(date) The date value you want to set in the selected files. Use the
- form [(mm-)[(dd)[(-yy)]]] if COUNTRY=01 (USA) in your
- CONFIG.SYS file. If you supply the /D switch with no date
- value, FD resets the date on the selected files to 00-00-80.
- If you supply neither the /D nor the /T parameter, FD uses the
- current date. If you supply only a /D value, FD does not
- change the time on the file. If you specify (mm-), FD sets the
- (dd) and the (yy) to 00. If you specify only (mm-dd), FD sets
- (yy) to 00. Acceptable values are:
-
- mm = 01-12
- dd = 01-31
- yy = 00-99
-
- FD does not check to ensure that dd is valid for a specific
- month.
-
- /P Displays the results in pause mode: You initially see one
- screenful of information, and you must press the Spacebar to
- see each subsequent screenful. Press Enter to scroll up one
- line at a time. Press any key other than Spacebar, Enter, or
- Escape to exit pause mode. You can also enter pause mode
- during normal display by pressing any key other than Escape.
-
-
-
- /S Processes all files in all subdirectories under the current or
- specified path.
-
- /T(time) The time value you want to set in the selected files. Supply a
- time value in the form [(hh)[(:mm)[(:ss)]]]. If you supply /T
- with no time value, FD resets the time on the selected files
- to 12:00:00. If you supply neither the /D nor the /T
- parameter, FD uses the current time. If you supply only a /T
- value, FD does not change the date on the file. Acceptable
- values are:
-
- hh = 0-23
- mm = 0-59
- ss = 0-59
-
- Example: To reset the date to 9/4/82 and the time to 2:00 P.M. on all
- EXE files in the UTIL directory on drive B.
-
- Enter: FD b:\util\.EXE /D09-04-82 /T14
