DOS Dir - listing of full path and timestamp
Hi,

(Apologies, I'm sure I'm not the first person to raise this question but so far in my searches haven't found a good answer).

I would like to output a listing per line of filename (including full path) and 'last updated' timestamp. e.g:
Code:
Z:\dir1\file1.txt   01/02/2010 10:43
z:\dir1\file2.txt   12/04/2010  09:30
z:\dir1\dir2\file3.txt   26/05/2010  13:01
z:\dir1\dir2\file4.txt   26/05/2010  13:02

I expect 1000+ files to be reported in my real scenario. The ultimate aim is to export to Excel and sort by date.

I had hoped to use the DOS DIR command.

Thanks in advance for any help.

dirread

DIRREAD(2)							System Calls Manual							DIRREAD(2)

NAME

       dirread - read directory

SYNOPSIS

       #include <u.h>
       #include <libc.h>

       int dirread(int fd, Dir *buf, long nbytes)

DESCRIPTION

       The data returned by a read(2) on a directory is a set of complete directory entries in a machine-independent format, exactly equivalent to
       the result of a stat(2) on each file or subdirectory in the directory.  Dirread decodes the  directory  entries	into  a  machine-dependent
       form.   It reads from fd and unpacks the data into Dir structures in buf (see stat(2) for the layout of a Dir).	Nbytes is the size of buf;
       it should be a multiple of sizeof(Dir).	Directory entries have length DIRLEN (defined in <libc.h>) in machine-independent  form.   A  suc-
       cessful read of a directory always returns a multiple of DIRLEN; dirread always returns a multiple of sizeof(Dir).

       Dirread	returns the number of bytes filled in buf; the number returned may be less than the number requested.  The file offset is advanced
       by the number of bytes actually read.
