Time synchronization

Former Member — Fri, 01 Sep 2006 08:12:48 GMT

Hi,

I'm getting two files with creation date and creation time. I've to upload this file somewhere.

But problem is " sometimes i'm getting the latest file before the older one" and older is getting updated as latest one due to time Insynchronization. Also i dont want to do the time stamps and do the validation for individual files as there are a number of files and performance will hamper.

possible solution expected

Regards,

Hello Jyoti

From your description I assume that the two files contain the same data and, probably, have the same name (but with different creation date/time).

When you receive the files why not add the time stamp (date & time) to the file name? When you start uploading simply read all file names and sort them by filename (oldest files will be on top).
