Hi, I'm writing a function to rotate log files. I use the file creation date to decide when to rotate the log file. I then rename the file and after that re-create the log file again. What bugs me is that the newly created file has the same creation date as the one that was renamed just before. If I add a delay of a few seconds between the rename and the create, the new file gets a correct creation date. My guess is that this has something to do with caching on ntfs. Is there a way around this? B.t.w., for renaming, I tried all kinds of functions: rename (RTL), RenameFile (VCL), MoveFile (WinAPI). For creating the file, I used fopen(..., "at"), CreateFile (WinAPI) and FileCreate (VCL). All with the same result ! Thanks, Patrick.
