is there a way to obtain the time and date of a file without having to parse
the ls command output?

okay, serious answer this time. man bash and look for -ot and -nt --
"older than" and "newer than", respectively.

You can try using the stat(2) call. Just make the call then print only
the information that you require.

thanks guys, stat looks like it, have to work out how to strip all those
strange zeros though:
2002-12-20 04:08:37.0 +
2002-12-20 04:08:37.0 +
what are those zeros after the seconds?
