how to put a file's date into a variable

DOOOOM, get your script over here, quick !

Secret Doom said he will be off until I think the 23rd. Check some of the older posts. I think he covered the same problem.

I've found some time on my schedule to answer the un-answered batch questions. Here goes your solution, grey: @echo off if "%1"=="" goto eof if not exist %1 goto eof echo e115'SET %%1='> %temp%.\T1.DAT echo e126 D A 1A>> %temp%.\T1.DAT for %%? in (f100L15''20 w q) do echo %%?>> %temp%.\T1.DAT dir/4 %1 |FIND ":" |FIND /v "\" > %temp%.\T2.BAT DEBUG %temp%.\T2.BAT < %temp%.\T1.DAT > nul call %temp%.\T2.BAT FDATE for %%? in (T1.DAT T2.BAT) do del %temp%.\%%? echo %1 was last modified on %FDATE%. :eof SINTAX: filename.bat filename.ext (filename.bat is what you will name the batch file, and filename.ext is the file to get the date into variable). You can use a hardcoded filename instead of %1, of course. -- Leonardo Pignataro - Secret_Doom -- secret_doom@hotmail.com www.batch.hpg.com.br ________________________________________________________
