I'm willing to stand corrected but that's basically ctime which isn't the creation date but (to quote the pods): inode change time (NOT the creation time) since the epoch. "-C" and "stat($file)[10];" (Perl or Un*x) return ctime and neither of these suit my needs, which is, the true creation date of a file. TIA Robin
