Hi Loren,
Try the following. You need to have XCode developer tools installed. Assumes
that you working directory is where the files of interest are. Otherwise add a
path to the ls command.
files <- system("ls",intern=T)
date <- vector(mode="character",length=length(files))
names(date) <- files
for (f in files) {
date[f] <- system(paste("/Developer/Tools/GetFileInfo -d
'",f,"'",sep=""), intern=T)
}

Sorry my email was unclear
I am looking at files within a saved R workspace
The date of the workspace file is 3/18/2007 but I don't think all of the
files were created on that date as I think I used the workspace over some
period of time
So I would like the creation date of the files WITHIN the workspace
Maybe I should be asking this on the R email list

Ok, I give up
I am exploring some workspace files created long long ago
And need the creation date of some of the files
I try ls() but cannot see the parameters to show creation date
I try file.info and get NA
How do I get creation date to show
One way is to navigate to the file via the Finder, select it, and hit
Cmd-I (File > Get Info)
You'll find what you're looking for in the "General" section.
HTH,
