Solve : Identify file date?

1.	Solve : Identify file date?
Answer» Assume the following: location-1 creates a database update file and creates a zip file. Location-2 receives the zip file and will download it only if they do not already have that file. I would like to modify the download batch file to at least identify the date/time of the file and display in on screen with a MESSAGE that says 'this file was created on ____ at ____. If you have this update already, press ESC to abort. So, my question is how to have the batch file look at the zip file, get the date/time, and display it on screen. Later on we may want to automate this by having the batch file check the zip file against what is already on location-2 computer and abort or download - but for for now, I'm just interested in DISPLAYING the date/time. thanks,C:\TEST>type doni.bat echo off dir /tc %1 \| FINDSTR %1 Output: C:\test>doni.bat zee.bat 05/30/2010 06:52 PM 87 zee.bat C:\test>
