EX1

//the file test.txt must exist in temp folder path
void get_file_time_Ex1()
{
    char szTemp[MAXFULLPATH];
    GetTempPath(MAXFULLPATH, szTemp); // Get temp folder path.
    string strFile = szTemp + "\\test.txt";
    double dLastWriteTime, dCreationTime;
    bool bFlag = get_file_time(strFile, &dLastWriteTime, &dCreationTime);
    if(!bFlag)
        printf("failed to get file's last write time");
    else 
    {
     out_str("the file's last write time is "+get_date_str(dLastWriteTime, LDF_SHORT_AND_HHMM_SEPARCOLON));
