Is there a way to retreive the "Date Modified" of a file through a .bat or .cmd file ?

Could someone show me an example ?

DIR /TW c:\file.ext


You can use a FOR statement to disect it

C:\>for /f "tokens=1" %%i IN ('dir /tw file.ext ^| find /i "file.ext"') do echo %%i


Enjoy!

(remember, variables in batch files for a FOR statement have double % ie:'%%i' where as from a cmd prompt it's single % ie:'%i')
