GetFileVersion Method

Description

Returns a TextStream object corresponding to the standard input, output, or error stream.

PowerBASIC Syntax

METHOD GetFileVersion ( _

BYVAL bstrFileName AS STRING _

) AS STRING

Arguments

bstrFileName

BSTR. The path (absolute or relative) to a specific file.

Remarks

The GetFileVersion method returns a zero-length string ("") if pathspec does not end with the named component.

Note The GetFileVersion method works only on the provided path string. It does not attempt to resolve the path, nor does it check for the existence of the specified path.

Example [PowerBASIC]

#INCLUDE "windows.inc"

#INCLUDE "scrrun.inc"

DIM fso AS IFileSystem3

DIM strVersion AS STRING

' Create an instance of the FileSystemObject

fso = NEWCOM "Scripting.FileSystemObject"

' Get the file version

strVersion = fso.GetFileVersion(UCODE$("C:\MyFolder\MDAC Version 2.8.doc"))

IF LEN(strFileVersion) THEN

MSGBOX "File version: " & ACODE$(strVersion)

ELSE

MSGBOX "No version information available"
