Thank you That is too bad as date time of work is important
But, going forward, maybe I can learn how to set the date time in the objects attributes when it is important Like I found a discussion on this topic from 2004 which suggests attr(obj, "timestamp") <- Sys.time() And then attr(obj, "timestamp") So I tried attr(obj, "datetime") <- date() Then attr(obj,"datetime") And it works so I can do that But then as I read the ref manual, file.info tries to show mtime, ctime and atime But I guess that does not apply to objects within a workspace > From: Simon Urbanek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Wed, 29 Oct 2008 12:08:53 -0400 > To: Loren Engrav <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Cc: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> > Subject: Re: [R-SIG-Mac] File creation date > > > On Oct 28, 2008, at 19:03 , Loren Engrav wrote: > >> 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 >> > > There is no file *within* the workspace.
