regards Edwin -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of William Purcell Sent: Tuesday, August 12, 2008 1:47 PM To: Python List Subject: Checking a file's time stamp. Hi all, I am wanting to check to see the last time a file was edited. For example, I have a directory containing two text files, file1.txt and file2.txt. I want to be able to process these files but only if they have been edited since the last time they were processed. I think that I want to be able to check the time stamp of each file. Can anyone tell me how to do that or point me in a better direction of checking the last time a file was edited?
