Update Timestamp of file based on time in filename

Thanks 4WD.
I'll check it out. Right now I seem to have issues with executing .ps1 file (executionpolicy, whatever)

You need to change the execution policy to run many powershell scripts

Alternatively, try this...
Written in PureBasic.
Accepts one parameter, the filename (put it in quotes if it contains spaces)!
It is a command line app, the return values are the following:
0 = Everything went fine, modified time should be set correctly
1 = You forgot to call it with a filename
2 = The filename does not exist!
3 = There isn't a space where it should be (between date and time in the filename)
4 = Either the date or the time doesn't have the expected length (8 chars for the date, 6 for the time)
5 = Setting the new modified date failed (could e.g. happen if you try to change a date for a file in a UAC protected directory, and the app was not called with admin permissions)

Thanks.
The idea is to do this in a batch, i.e. for multiple files simultaneously.
For years I have this script that is doing exactly what I want.
It is working fine, with just 1 exception...
updating time, when the date format in the file is yyyymmdd
In case the date format is ddmmyyyy then it is okay.
So far I manually update the time of such files using the change date time attributes
within Opus. It is not a big issue, but I would like to have it in a script.
Have sent skwire the script by PM.
So, let's wait for his feedback.
Anyway, many thanks so far!
Truly appreciate your support.
