Hello,
I need help writing a script that will use the touch -r in
[CC]ddmmyyyy HH:mm format.

Basically I have to go into a directory and give all of the files their original time stamp, hence the touch -r command. But where to start ?

I was planning on using this:

date=$([CC]ddmmyyyy HH:mm:ss)


grep date /directory/XXX
if date -ne [CC]ddmmyyyy HH:mm:ss
then touch -r

fi
OR create a loop ??************


for date=03-22-02 /X/xxxx

do touch -r [CC]ddmmyyyy HH:mm:ss

echo "changing format of date"

done

what is the best way to come up with something like this ?

thanks so much
