Hi all,

I am very poor in writting batch files, but I want to get the last modified date of a file into a text file.

Could you please PROVIDE me the code for that.



THANKS in advance
SarayuThis may help:

Code: [Select]echo off
for /f "skip=5" %%x in ('dir /tw drive:\path\filename.extension') do (
  echo %%x > text.file
  goto :eof
)

Be sure to change drive:\path\filename.extension to SOMETHING appropriate.

Good luck.  Alternatively
Code: [Select]for /f %%T in ('dir /b filename.ext') do echo %%~tT>text.fileHi,

I am MODIFYING the code and when I echo the results I get unwanted lines:

:laptop
set localdrv=d:\workspaces
for /f "skip=5" %%i in ('dir /tw %localdrv%\%plantid%\batch\gisdb\wad\%plantid%%wad%.dbf') do (echo %plantid%%wad%.dbf %%i Laptop)

The mod date echoes correctly but I get 2 extra lines after the date is ECHOED
[myfilename] 1
[myfilename] 0

How can I eliminate those last 2 lines?

Thanks in advance

You may have modified the code to the point of breaking it. 

Code: [Select]:laptop
set localdrv=d:\workspaces
for /f "skip=5" %%i in ('dir /tw %localdrv%\%plantid%\batch\gisdb\wad\%plantid%%wad%.dbf') do (
  echo %plantid%%wad%.dbf %%i Laptop
  goto getout
)
:getout

The for statement creates a loop. The skip parameter only skipped lines in the beginning of the directory list. The remaining lines after the one you want to process must be skipped manually.

Good luck.
