Hi,

is there any way to figure out the modification date of a given file in
IDL ? I searched the manual but couldn't find anything. Unfortunately
there is no such field in FSTAT. What I am trying to do is put together
a small utitlity which would perform semi-automatic updates of my
website library. Has anyone done such things before ?

Reg's,
Martin.

Dear Miquel,

openr,lun,file,/get_lun
x=fstat(lun)
help,x,/str
free_lun,lun

online Help of fstat says:

ATIME, CTIME, MTIME ï¿½ The date of last access, date of creation, and
date of last modification given in seconds since 1 January 1970 UTC. Use
the SYSTIME function to convert these dates into a textual
representation.

regards
Reimar
