The FileTimeToDate function is provided by the Script Support Class to StealthBot allowing you to convert Windows file-times to date values.

Development

The FileTimeToDate function was added in version 2.7.

Documentation

'// FILETIMETODATE
'// Returns a date/time from two long values, as either "value value" or value, value
Public Function FileTimeToDate(ByVal strTime As Variant, Optional ByVal HighValue As Long = 0) As Date

    Dim FTime As FILETIME ' ...

    ' ...
    If (HighValue <> 0) Then
        With FTime
            .dwLowDateTime = CLng(Val(strTime))
            .dwHighDateTime = CLng(Val(HighValue))
        End With
    Else
        With FTime
            .dwLowDateTime = _
                UnsignedToLong(CDbl(Mid$(strTime, InStr(1, strTime, " ", vbBinaryCompare) + 1)))

            .dwHighDateTime = _
                UnsignedToLong(CDbl(Left$(strTime, InStr(1, strTime, " ", vbBinaryCompare))))
        End With
    End If

    ' ...
    FileTimeToDate = modDateTime.FileTimeToDate(FTime)

End Function

Summary

FileTimeToDate() can take the two VB Longs (32-bit numbers) in two formats and will convert them to the date type.

Syntax

If you have two DWORDs (for example from SID_CLANMEMBERINFO):

Dword1 = Buffer.GetDWORD()
Dword2 = Buffer.GetDWORD()
DateValue = FileTimeToDate(Dword1, Dword2)

If you have one NTSTRING (for example from SID_READUSERDATA):

FtString = Buffer.GetString() ' string in the format "##### #####"
DateValue = FileTimeToDate(FtString)

Arguments

  • strTime is either the first DWORD of the file time (low value) or the file time in a string with the format "HIGHNUMBER LOWNUMBER"
  • HighTime is the second DWORD of the file time (high value) if the first argument was the low value.
