Hie everyone,
I'm trying to find the best way to find out when a fiile was last modified and if it hasn't been modified in the last 7 days move it to a certain folder.
First compare the current date with the last modified date and if it is more than 7 days use the io classes and move it to the required folder and delete the original file
i remember a friend telling me there's a lastModifief() method but you can only compare it to another last modified
There is a last modified method in the File api but you don't have to compare it to another last modified as the method returns a long.
I think your friend lied to you :cheesy:
This is the api see it for yourself

This ia sample of how to use the last modified method

I hope this helped you
Yours Sincerely
Richard West
