If your on linux, you can use exec() along with some linux command to show it..

(Just an example, im still new to linux)

Code: Select all

ls -l --time=ctime /var | grep "test"
Result

Code: Select all

drwxr-xr-x 18 kyle root  4096 2007-09-12 19:44 test

Thanks

But stat() function is only for file, not for directory

exec() function is for only linux and I need for window as well

I need this as I need to delete folders (tmp) that is two weeks old in my system


Regards

Since when? It works on directories just fine. At least it does under unix.. maybe windows is different?
