Re: Testing for file age

[John van Zantvoort]

It would be handy, a syntax like in find e.g. where a construction like
MtimeFunc( '/path/to/file', '+3' ) or MtimeFunc( '/path/to/file', '-8'
) can be used so you could test if a file is older then 3 days or
younger then 8 days.

John

I could easily add a special function to the list to compare this
directly if you are interested in using the latest. Otherwise you could
use a file filter - a bit awkward
