Date/Time on a File

[jestrada101]

Is there a unix command that will give me the date/time of a file? Or is a script needed that utilizes "ls" to manipulate an output..

Thanks

think of it this way, that is something you can brag about being a script writer.

I use this Perl fragment to do it:

#!/usr/bin/perl
if ($#ARGV < 0) {
        print &quot;usage: filedate.pl <filespec>\n&quot;;
} else {
        print localtime((stat($ARGV[0]))[9]) . &quot;\n&quot;;
}

I'm not as cruel as cruel.

hink this is what your looking for...

ls -l |nawk '{printf "%-25 s %-5s %-5s%s\n", $9 , $6 , $7 , $8 ;}'


Of course I could be wrong...
