TIMESTAMP

The TimeStamp function accepts one parameter, which is a string constant or string variable providing the name of a file.  The function returns an value which is a coded representation of the date and time that the file was last modified.  The larger this number is, the more recent the file.  The date can be seen if the EES variable set to display in Date format.  If the specified file is not found, the function returns 0.  

Example:

F=timestamp('C:\Temp\myfile.txt')
