function building

[ken gray]

im trying my hand at building functions and im stuck on getting this one to return a string.

im trying to build a function that will give me the modify date of a file. i can get it to "out" the data correctly but it doesn't seem to pass the info to the macro that called it.

heres the macro

Code:

Copy      Help

str b
b=Get_File_Date("C:\qm\desktop\monday.mp3")

heres the function

Code:

Copy      Help

function$ $fn
SYSTEMTIME st
str a
lpstr s=GetFileInfo(fn 0 0 0 &st 0 0 1)
a.format("%u/%u/%u" st.wMonth st.wDay st.wYear)

any ideas where im going wrong?

Thanks...
