Modification date on directories and files

 [1/2] from: maillist::peter::home::se at: 21-Aug-2005 12:34


Hello! I was wondering when the modification date of a directory is changing if a file within the directory has been modified, added or deleted? I am writing a script that shows the modified files since a specific date. It would have been a great improvement in speed if I first could check the modification date of a directory to decide if I should check the files within the directory or not. Best regards, Peter Carlsson

A quick check seems to show they're not changed in Windows98. It may differ from OS to OS though. -- Carl Read.
