Changing file date

[Technobie]

Hi All,

I want to be able to change the date on a file to two weeks ago. I am testing a script, but need the modified date changed.

Can anyone throw a cmd my way?

Thanks!

Try the [tt]touch[/tt] command. Look at the man page for options. You can have it set a date to be one you specify, or use the date on another file.

Hope this helps.

Awesome! Thanks! I knew I could set the current time by using "touch filename" - I should have just checked the man page.

Thanks again!
