I was searching for some information on how to detect if a certain file had been modified and I found some code in the code archieves: http://blitzmax.com/codearcs/codearcs.php?code=2747 The code seems to work, and I can detect the event just fine, but I cannot seem to figure out, how I get the filename from the eventsource which returns an object, not a string. It might be a simple thing, but for unknown reason I just cannot seem to spot it right now, so if someone has a suggestion the I would appreciate it.

[bbcode]name:String=String(event.source) 'or name:String=event.source.ToString() [/bbcode]
