The following bit of python code will do the job. As set up, it displays the days, hours, minutes, and seconds of delta time between any two files. I believe the one you want is creation time. rickf ------------ tear here ---------------- #!/usr/bin/env python import os, sys, time def tmDiff(t1, t2): deltaTm = abs(t2-t1) M = deltaTm/60 S = deltaTm%60 H = M/60 M = M%60 D = H/24 H = H%24 strTm = '%dD-%dH-%dM-%dS'%(D,H,M,S) return strTm if not os.path.exists(sys.argv[1]): print 'ERROR - not a valid file name:',sys.argv[1] if not os.path.exists(sys.argv[2]): print 'ERROR - not a valid file name:',sys.argv[2] st1 = os.stat(sys.argv[1]) st2 = os.stat(sys.argv[2]) ctm = tmDiff (st2[9], st1[9]) atm = tmDiff (st2[8], st1[8]) mtm = tmDiff (st2[7], st1[7]) print 'ctime diff:',ctm print 'atime diff:',atm print 'mtime diff:',mtm -- If you are successfull they'll beat a path to your doorstep ...
