Script to copy creation date over top of modified date?
Can someone draw up a script that for every file, folder and subfolder and files that will copy the creation date over top of the modified date??
I know how to touch every file recursively, but no idea how to read a files creation date then use that to touch the modification date of that file, then do the same for the next, etc
Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated
