parsing and timestamps

Hello all,

I have a couple of questions, and am looking for general direction or additional sources of information about how to tackle them. I haven't used C++ in quite a while now and when I did, never touched these topics.

I am looking to parse a file directory and determine if a file exists and if so, if it is newer than it's last existance.

I appreciate any direction given on this.

Thnx

This is platform specific, what compiler and operating system do you use?

-Prelude

Prelude,

Thanks for the reply. I am still looking into the best way that this will be created. I will most likely develop using VC++ 6. It will run on NT. The files being parsed are on an NT server.

Is the parsing of the directory also platform specific?

Thank you
