Rookie wondering how to get the date a file was last modified

Hi,
There is no standard C function that does this, but your compiler almost certainly provides a function that does. If you're using a *nix variety, take a look at fstat or stat. These are Posix functions that are sometimes provided by Windows implementations as well.
Maybe somebody else knows of a Windows/DOS function that's commonly provided (if that's what you're interested in).
HTH,

Hi,
Depending on your compiler you can find the date info in the struct passed to the "findfirst, findnext" fuctions.
MS 16bit compiler dos_findfirst() etc.
Borland 16bit findfirst() etc.
Win32 FindFirstFile() etc.
A search of the help for these functions will give you the struct that is passed to each.
