The content of the file list, i.e., filenames, has no associated filesystem metadata for any of the files named in your text file. You would have use the stat command on each one of the filenames in the text file.
And you will have to use epoch times ( seconds since Jan 1 1970).
It is easier with a reference file that has been set to a specified mtime file with the touch command, shell does file time comparisons ( -ot, -nt ):
Can you create the text file list first with both a filename and a filetime (in epoch seconds) for each line in the text file? And then read that?
