FileIsNewer

The FileIsNewer returns true if the second file has a timestamp newer than the first file.

Command Syntax

The Command syntax is the command name, followed by a colon, then the fully qualified path and file name to check:

FileIsNewer:[FileToCompare],[FileToCompareWith]

Parameters:

FileToCompare: The fully qualified path and file name from which to obtain the timestamp to check

FileToCompareWith: The fully qualified path and file name to check

Both parameters are compulsory and must be surrounded by quotation marks if one or more spaces are included in the path and file name. It is good practice to include the quotation marks in any case, so that it reduces the risk of error when writing scripts. If the parameter is missing an error will be thrown.

Example:

If:FileIsNewer:"c:\Test Text.txt","c:\Temp\Test Text.txt",Remark:"Yes",Remark:"No"
