Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers file creation date & time Post 77328 by vino on Thursday 7th of July 2005 07:43:10 AM

Getting the time of creation is not easy especially if you modify the file after it is created.

This script will work just the way you want, if the newly created files are not modified after their creation.

From within the directory where you need to run the script

Code:
cd /path/to/dir
ls -l | awk '{ printf $9 "-" $6" " $7" " $8"\n" }' >> output.txt

NAME

       fileutil::magic::cfront - Generator core for compiler of magic(5) files

SYNOPSIS

       package require Tcl  8.4

       package require fileutil::magic::cfront	?1.0?

       package require fileutil::magic::cgen  ?1.0?

       package require fileutil::magic::rt  ?1.0?

       package require struct::list

       package require fileutil

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile path...

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef procname path...

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...

_________________________________________________________________

DESCRIPTION

       This  package  provides	the  frontend of a compiler of magic(5) files into recognizers based on the fileutil::magic::rt recognizer runtime
       package. For the generator backed used by this compiler see the package fileutil::magic::cgen.

COMMANDS

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile path...
	      This command takes the paths of one or more files and directories and compiles all the files, and the files in all  the  directories
	      into a single recognizer for all the file types specified in these files.

	      All the files have to be in the format specified by magic(5).

	      The result of the command is a Tcl script containing the generated recognizer.

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef procname path...
	      This  command  behaves like ::fileutil::magic::cfront::compile with regard to the specified path arguments, then wraps the resulting
	      recognizer script into a procedure named procname, puts code setting up the namespace of procname in front, and returns the  result-
	      ing script.

       ::fileutil::magic::cfront::install path...
	      This  command  uses  ::fileutil::magic::cfront::procdef  to  compile  each of the paths into a recognizer procedure and installs the
	      result in the current interpreter.

	      The name of each new procedure is derived from the name of the file/directory used in its creation, with file/directory "FOO"  caus-
	      ing the creation of procedure ::fileutil::magic::/FOO::run.
