: Allow me to ask one more question in this context: how would I retrieve the following information:
: Author
: Last saved by
: Revision number
: Last printed
----------------------

This information is stored in some filetypes like Microsoft Word documents, some other wordprocessor documents, some types of spreadsheets, and so on... but it usually can only be read by these specific applications. I.e., there is no standard format for this kind of info, everybody uses their own format.

In fact, most Windows files don't contain this info. Or do you mean: how to get this info out of Microsoft Word documents, or another specific type of files?
