I want to get time length, and some information in Detail tab of file.

[Veera_Raj (Veeraraj Sethuraman)]

thats not possible you get directly , you can only do with foreground automation

like navigate to the particular folder path and right click on file then you can choose properties

after you have to take screenshot

Hey!

For length you can try like this

Assign StrLength = new System.IO.FileInfo("FilePath").Length.ToString

How to get the system information from our file ?- FileInfo and FileInfoSystem

Hello everybody, I allow myself to open this topic because I do not find how to retrieve system information from a file. I know how to get the path of it. I know how to get his extension. But I would like if possible to get the information - system of it. Namely that size - that creation date - that modification date - that last access date - and the owner of this file. I looked at the .net documentation. I found this: Maybe I do not understand how to transcribe the lines of code in UI…

Hi,

The following approach might help you.

[System.Runtime.InteropServices.DllImport("winmm.dll")]
static extern Int32 mciSendString(string command, System.Text.StringBuilder buffer, int bufferSize, IntPtr hwndCallback);
string cmd;
var buffer = new System.Text.StringBuilder(new string((char)0,255));

cmd ="set time format milliseconds";
mciSendString(cmd,null,0,IntPtr.Zero);

cmd ="status \""+fileName +"\" length";
mciSendString(cmd,buffer,buffer.Length,IntPtr.Zero);

ret = buffer.ToString();

It’s amazing how many people don’t carefully read questions. He doesn’t want the size of the file, people, he wants the LENGTH IN TIME of the audio file.

Anyway @Bin_Bin there doesn’t appear to be a simple way to do this programmatically.

Have you tried opening it in Windows Media Player and getting the time from there?

[Bin_Bin]

yes, it is one of solutions, i see the @Yoichi solution can be feasibility, but i dont know about programing language to write code. Anyone could help me the way how to add class library into uipath? i find C# solution, but i dont know how to add MP3Header Class library into uipath.
this is website of solution : .net - How to get the length of a MP3 in C# - Stack Overflow

[postwick (Paul)]

@Bin_Bin

yes, it is one of solutions

Well, have you tried it? It would be the simplest way to get the audio length.

[postwick (Paul)]

By the way, I’m not sure why you’re having trouble getting it from the file Properties. Works fine for me:

[Bin_Bin]
