Reading the forum : there are many marvelous users that have made astonishing answers, samples or UDF = I'm just a welcomer 😉

Yes = the same code algorithm than _FileGetTimeDST() that I propose in my previous post, but 5 years ago : https://www.autoitscript.com/forum/topic/205935-filegettime-uses-an-improper-tzdst-shift-at-todays-date/page/2/?tab=comments#comment-1483426 I just coded, additionally, all the FileGetTime() options with the returned string for my usage @hifi55 proposes also FileSetTimeExt() ! and all explanations Nice 😃

Hi I've discovered today there was an AutoIt ticket 6 years ago ! FileGetTime out by exactly one hour : https://www.autoitscript.com/trac/autoit/ticket/3139 The ticket was classified as 'No bug' ! And I think AutoIt is right !! The FileGetTime() function is conformed to Microsoft’s implementation !!! That why I mean this is an AutoIt documentation issue (if we can say that, of course ; -) As a new user of FileGettime(), I have started a new subject, because there was no DST warning inside FileGetTime() Help that just replicates the Microsoft behavior not aligned to W10 behavior : a warning as explained in Microsoft documentation... Regards

I know, but I wanted just to notice that your Wiki entry was interesting too by itself 🙂

I thank you jchd I remember you gave us also that : Regards PS : Remind that I have never said in this post to have the intent to correct all UTC-TZ-DST cases : very hard stuff. Just to let FileGetTime() display date-time as the new W7/W10 properties window...

I shall need to become overwhelming ! 😜

Hi Melba23 I frown on post count padding too, but I'm sure you will have seen it was just 3 out of the needed count, and that I do not post empty things here 😊 in the topic or in all topics Regards

Excellent ! Yes, there are many happy philosophers here ! 😂 And $Dead = False again with Heaven ! Hey, I'm discovering I just about to go into Forum Heaven !

I discover, not without satisfaction, that there are many philosophers on this forum: a guarantee of quality ☺️

Hi I have tried to code a kind of "UDF"... 😉 What do you think of this _FileGetTimeDST() alternative ?

Hi Jos You're 10x times faster than me I can't compete ; -) Well I have tried your proposal, but it does not fix my DST issue in all cases, because on one of my files, it goes to 18h, and with the other to 17h... As promised, I have developed my own code that I insert inside your above example I have followed Microsoft documentation recommendations below and it works for me 😄 My test code at this point implements only options $FT_MODIFIED (0) and $FT_STRING (1) I use for FileGetTime()... Regards #include <Date.au3> #include <Array.au3> _ArrayDisplay(_FileGetTimeDST("TEST 20190115_180000.txt", 2, 1)) _ArrayDisplay(_FileGetTimeDST("TEST 20190715_180000.txt", 2, 1)) Func _FileGetTimeDST($iFilename, $iOption = 0, $iFormat = 0) If Not FileExists($iFilename) Then Return SetError(1, 0, "File not found") If $iOption < 0 Or $iOption > 2 Then Return SetError(2, 0, "Wrong open parameter value") If $iFormat < 0 Or $iFormat > 1 Then Return SetError(3, 0, "Wrong Format parameter value") Local $hFile = _WinAPI_CreateFile($iFilename, 2) If $hFile = 0 Then _WinAPI_ShowError("ERROR: _WinAPI_CreateFile open " & $iFilename) MsgBox(0, "Error", "ERROR: _WinAPI_CreateFile open " & $iFilename) Exit EndIf Local $aTime = _Date_Time_GetFileTime($hFile) _WinAPI_CloseHandle($hFile) $aTime = $aTime[2] Local $tSystem = _Date_Time_FileTimeToSystemTime($aTime) Local $tLocal = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime($tSystem) Local $LocalStr = _Date_Time_SystemTimeToDateTimeStr($tLocal,1) ; Returns yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss ; Use the standard FileGetTime format : YYYYMMDDHHMMSS $LocalStr = StringRegExpReplace($LocalStr,"^(....)/(..)/(..) (..):(..):(..)$","\1\2\3\4\5\6") MsgBox(0, "", "_Date_Time_SystemTimeToTzSpecificLocalTime : " & $LocalStr) Return $LocalStr EndFunc ;==>_FileGetTimeDST

I have begun to code something, but will try that also as soon as possible next WE or after ☺️

Too funny Interesting for me I like old school terms, that's true Really, I'm a little old school, exact And, i am funny, well I hope so, at least, I try to be funny Regards
