Hi Bruce,
There is an article here
<https://www.itechtics.com/change-timestamp/#how-to-modify-file-and-folder-timestamps>
which explains the delights of Windows timestamps. Having learned more
than you might have wished, you can find the utility equivalent of the
Linux command, /touch/, which does what you need. Confusingly, there are
a couple (?) of Windows command line utilities called Touch. One is
downloadable <http://www.helge.mynetcologne.de/touch/index.htm> from the
author and the other is at SourceForge
<https://sourceforge.net/projects/touch-win32/files/v1.21/>. Also, I
found File Time Changer
<https://securityxploded.com/file-date-time-changer.php>.
Maybe one invoked through /launch /would work for you.

Thank you, Razzak:
I once impugned a litigant's sworn testimony by revealing the metadata
of files he had entered into evidence, and of which he had no
knowledge. So, I'm with you, below, so far as the Windows Explorer goes.
What I'm looking for is the ability, within an R:BASE .RMD code file,
to capture and record the date/time of a COPY process to the new file,
for display within the Command file listing of the R:BASE Database
Explorer.
I suspect I can accomplish this with a LAUNCH out to Powershell or
JPSoft TCC, but /wouldn't it be cool if R:BASE could do it natively?/
Always appR:eciative, Bruce

Subject ***SPAM*** Re: [RBASE-L] - Filename COPY, and the persistent
date/time stamp
Bruce,
Change your Windows File Explorer View properties to see the Date
created and Date modified columns to see the difference.
Very Best R:egards,
Razzak

All:
Consider a file displayed in the RGBX5E Command file listing:
*template.rmd | 02/12/2023 | 13:40*
On Monday, Feb 13, at 12:00, use the COPY command within an EEP to
make a copy:
*COPY template.rmd showtime.rmd*
Now, in the file listing, see:
*template.rmd | 02/12/2023 | 13:40*
*showtime.rmd | 02/12/2023 | 13:40*
... the date/time stamp does not change.
Is there a native R:BASE command/function set which will update
*showtime.rmd*'s date/time stamp? (Oh, I've been looking.) Or am I
off to to LAUNCHing Windows' Powershell?
Thanks much, Bruce
