Dir: Display full time

[Swifty]

Is there any way to make the DIR command list the full time (04:31:30
rather than just 04:31) ?

Not with the DIR command, but the info is there to access. The time is
recorded in 100 million'ths of a second. Certainly there are a number of
interfaces available, and which one you use is probably most dependant on
what you are most comfortable with using. I would probably add a suffix to
the filename that showed the accurate time. The command: 'cscript list.vbs >
list.txt' would show you all attributes in 'c:\somefolder'.
--list.vbs--
Set objShell = CreateObject ("Shell.Application")
Set objFolder = objShell.Namespace ("C:\somefolder")
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim arrHeaders(13)

For i = 0 to 13
arrHeaders(i) = objFolder.GetDetailsOf (objFolder.Items, i)
Next

For Each strFileName in objFolder.Items
For i = 0 to 13
If i <> 9 then
Wscript.echo arrHeaders(i) _
& ": " & objFolder.GetDetailsOf (strFileName, i)
End If
Next
Wscript.Echo
Next

Thanks. I can get at it with code, and now I know I can stop wasting my
time fiddling with the DIR command.

The only reason I wanted to use the DIR command is that I have a program
which takes backups when the source file has a different size or
timestamp from the backup file, and I wanted a simple test that the
backup files matched the source files after it ran.

Then I found the bug in the backup program that was causing it to copy
the same (old) files over and over again.
