Monitor small amounts of time with IfFileChanged>

Post by migro » Fri Mar 16, 2018 6:15 pm

Hi Marcus,

very nice function. But what when I want to monitor if a file changed in the last second or 2-5 seconds?
Do I have to use as range: 0.00001157407?
The range in days ist not really comfortable to monitor smaller amounts of time.

IfFileChanged only works with a range of days. It doesn't work at the level you want.

FileTime returns the time to the second, so you may be able to poll that.
