Hello everyone!  
can anyone suggest how I can make a button copying date/time details from a filename to the modified/created timestamp?  
I have scanned pdf documents from a printer, named like this:  
AR-M700U\_YYYYMMDD\_HHMMSS.pdf

thanks in advance!

Also, I noticed some of the above pdfs (all scanned from the same printer/scanner) are not taggable (btw, excellent feature !!!!!!!)  
I get an error (unknown) .. I thought I read somewhere in the latest beta (3rd?) that this was fixed, but I probably misinterpreted what I read)

You could do it by adapting my [Set Created/Modified timestamps to EXIF Shooting Time](https://resource.dopus.com/t/copy-created-modified-times-to-from-exif-times/6417/1) button, if you know some VBScript.

I don't have time to do it right now, sorry, but maybe someone else can lend a hand if needed.

I m not familiar with VBScript, unfortunately. If anyone has any idea, I would be grateful.  
Thank you

My prayer has been answered here: [File name to modified date/time?](https://resource.dopus.com/t/file-name-to-modified-date-time/11522/1)  
thanks immensely, Leo !!
