I'm trying to extract the Creation Date of an IFC file.
It is usually located under IfcProject in viewers like Solibri, but I can't seem to find it.
I want to read a folder containing a bunch of IFC files, and create a list of when the files were last created.
Hi @j.sveinson ,
Similar to opening the IFC in a text editor, you can read in the IFC with a text file reader and parse the header info everything after Creation Date until the next line.
I did a quick test with a few IFC's I had lying around and although the header info was formatted differently, it worked just fine. 
In your example, you could follow similar logic but instead of using an AttributeSplitter, you could simply use a SubstringReplacer and AttributeTrimmer to get the desired value after reading the IFC as text, and filtering for the feature that begins with "Creation Date:"
Hope that helps.
Thanks alot!
I think this will be a good solution for my use case! 😀
