how can you check to see the creation date of a file in a batch PROG?
is it even possible in batch?

I believe 'dir' can do this.

Try 'dir /?' at the command prompt.

ok that works but how can i get the creation date of a specific file and place it into a variable?

Code: [SELECT]@echo off
set filename=test.txt
for /f %%D in ('dir /B /T:C "%filename%"') do set creation-date=%%~tD
echo %filename% CREATED %creation-date%
