Checking the modification date of an acquired file

In my own Keynote files I can either "Get Info" or Revert to > Browse All Versions... to see the modifications and the creation date. I have a Keynote file that was sent to me. Is it possible to see the last modification date? Terminal maybe?
This is a Keynote 2013 file.

Is it possible to see the last modification date?
Creation and modification dates are shown correctly; when first entered on to your system.
If you need the data from someone else's system ask them for the information.

Check the modification date of a file and compare it to the current date

Hey everyone,
I'm writing a script that compares the modification date of a file to the current date, and performs actions based on whether the file was modified 7 days ago or not. I haven't been able to figure out exactly how to do this.
I haven't been able to find much in the way of this online, and I am not that familiar with manipulating dates and whatnot. I was able to get a bit of it, posted below:
currentDate=`date +%b-%d`
fileDate=`ls -l ~/.backup.txt | awk '{ print $6, $7 }'`
echo "$fileDate"
echo "$currentDate"
if [ "$fileDate" <= "$currentDate" ]; then
echo "old enough to run script"
else
echo "not old enough yet"
fi
Of course, this doesn't work. Any help would be much appreciated. This is for Leopard.
TIA,
Andrew

find ~/.backup.txt -mtime +7 -exec yourscript {} ;
You may need to play with the +7 value to get the exact number of days old the file needs to be.
The find command will accept a directory (actually it is frequently used with directories) and will find all files in that directory and any subdirectories below that match the find selection critiera.
So you could do something like
find ~ -mtime +7 | xargs yourscript
or
find ~ -mtime +7 -name "*.txt" | xargs yourscript
and if your script does not accept multiple filenames on the command line, you can use
find ~ -mtime +7 | xargs -n 1 yourscript
and if your file names have spaces in them, you can use
find ~ -mtime +7 -print0 | xargs -0 -n 1 yourscript

Can I populate a text field in one PDF with the modification date of a different file ?

Rather convoluted problem here but I'm trying to place a text field on a PDF document that serves as the main menu page for a library of interlinked PDF documents
The complete library contains over 7,000 files and additions are added and documents changed almost daily.
We currently use batch files to open the main menu from it's shortcut and this runs a check on a sync log file (.txt) to ascertain when the last time the user synchronised with the server to get the latest copy of the files.
Between a certain time range they are told how long it has been since they sync'ed and are offered the option to sync before opening, after a prescribed timeframe they cannot enter without synchronising. We use Allways Sync to conduct the file synchronisation with our mother files on our server.
What I'd like to do is take advantage of Allways Syncs automatic synchronisation options to synchronise on log on and at prescribed idle periods there after.
This works fine but I'd like the text field on the main menu PDF to say when the last synchronisation took place - easy if the main menu is the last file modified .. just use info.modDate.
However, the main menu is rarely modified therefore I wish to import the text to populate the text field from a different file.. either by interrogating the other files modifictaion data (though I doubt Acrobat can do this) or by simply importing some text stored in another file (a .txt file?) which has previously been created by batch file commands.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

P.S. I'm using Acrobat 8.3.1. Professional on Windows XP (SP3).

Thank you for all your help above.
Just to confirm your advice, am I right with the following conclusions? :
1. The script (function) to fill the text field with the modification date of a different PDF file needs to be stored in a folder level .js file.
2. The document containing the text field needs to call the .js function either within the document script or within the custom script property of the text field itself.
Further to that can you just advise on the syntax for accessing the modification date of the other document.
Do I need to assign a variable to the address of the file to be used, and then use this variable in the text form filling script (as below) or can I use a direct file reference at the .modDate command.
var LastSync = "C:\sync\bin\lastsync.pdf";
var strMsg = util.printd("h:MM tt",LastSync.modDate) + " on ";
strMsg += util.printd("dddd, d mmmm, yyyy",LastSync.modDate);
this.getField("LastSyncDate").value = strMsg;
If the syntax is totally different to the above I would be very grateful for some guidance in the right direction.
I much appreciate your time to help me ... I'm almost there.
Kind Regards,
Nifty

How can I check the open-mode of an opened file from the file refNum?

How can I check the open-mode of an opened file from the file refNum?
Especially whether a file is opened as read-only or write-only? I haven't found any VI in the panel with file VIs.
Thanks for any hints!

Check this post. Probably you can use a kernel.dll call.

What is changing the modification date of every folder?

Almost every folder and subfolder on my hard drive has the same modification date and time but they were not actually modified. The modification dates on individual files within are still unique. I looked around in the logs for some event at the date and time but couldn't find anything. What could cause this?

Hi,
take a look at LogMiner

Error while checking the rate data through installation

Hi everyone,
I am facing an error message while checking the rate data for an installation:
"Internal error: Error when reading internal table IEGER in ISU_O_DEVICERATE_OPEN".
Please guide.
Thanks and Regards

Hi,
The error comes from FM ISU_O_DEVICERATE_OPEN include LEG70F40 line number 2555.
It is giving error on following code of line in FM.
      find the serialno.
        loop at ieger into eger_wa
          where equnr = reg_wa-equnr
          and   ab   <= reg_wa-ab
          and   bis >= reg_wa-ab.
          exit.
        endloop.
        if sy-subrc <> 0.
          perform close_object changing obj.
          mac_msg_put 'E890(E9)' 'IEGER' 'ISU_O_DEVICERATE_OPEN'

          if 1 = 2. message e890(e9) with ' ' ' ' ' '. endif.
        endif.
I think that you are not checking the active installation. Check whether that installation has proper ebtry in table EASTS.
Try changing
BIS     BISZEITSCH     DATS     8     0     Date at Which a Time Slice Expires
AB     ABZEITSCH     DATS     8     0     Date from which time slice is valid
data for the installation.
If this dosent work then debug the program by putting break point on the mentioned line and check.

How can I check the expiration date of a Certificate Keychain from terminal?

Hello, I am writing a bash script to alert me when my corporate certificates are about to expire. How can I check the expiration date of a certificate in keychain? I'm running Mac OS 10.6.8 on a newer MacBook pro with full admin rights.
Specifically I will be checking three certs: a Root Authority, Issuing Authority, and a user cert (Identity).
I was exploring the Security and Openssl command line tools. But I can't seem to get the info I need.
Any recommendations would be appreciated.
Thank you!

How to determine the creation date/time for a file?

The important operating systems maintain both a creation date/time and last modified date/time for files. But in the File class there is only a lastModified() method. How does one determine the creation date/time for a file?

As far as i know, there is no way to know creation time, since it is a OS dependant information.

How to check the expired date of a public key stored in my keyStore

Hello,
I would like to know if there is any possibility to check the expiration date of a public key which is present in my keystore.
I did read the help of keytool but did not found any explanation about that.
Thanks in advance for your answers.

Public key doesn't have an expiration date. Certificate has. Run keytool -list -v and you can read something looks like:
Valid from: ... until: ...

How to check the last modified time of a file?

Does anyone know how to use LabVIEW to check the "last modified time" of a file?
Thanks.

This works just fine here (Windows XP, LabVIEW 8.5.1).
(Actually, if you look closely, it is off by one second. I guess the file properties dialog rounds in a different way )
Do you have more information? (e.g LabVIEW version, OS, etc.). Can you show us the code that fails?

Checks the complete date (mm/dd/yyyy) against another compelete date (mm/dd/yyyy)

Hi,
Is there a cold fusion function that checks the complete date (mm/dd/yyyy) against another compelete date (mm/dd/yyyy)?
I have used the DateCompare but it only checks the month, day or year depending on the precision being used.
Thanks,
Mike

I think you might need to read the docs a bit more closely. From the docs for dateCompare():
datePart
Optional. String. Precision of the comparison.
s Precise to the second (default)
n Precise to the minute
h Precise to the hour
d Precise to the day
m Precise to the month
yyyy Precise to the year
Indeed, even by default its behaviour is not what you suggest it is.

Opening Nested folders changes the modification date of the parent folder

This has been bugging me for some time and is very odd...
If I open a folder that is nested inside another folder it changes the modification date of the parent folder to today's date and time, even though I have not made any changes to the folders contents, or even viewed any of the contents.
I have posted this question on other forums and no one has been able to reproduce this on their systems.
I have multiple macs, using a combination of 10.4 and 10.5, connected via an AEBS and this only seems to occur when I am connected to my network.
All machines have been setup using a migration from a previous machine going way back to my original OSX installation and various iterations of Powerbooks, iBooks, iMacs, Minis, MacBooks etc...
Can anyone throw any light as to what is causing this?
Many thanks,

Hi Ben,
I have multiple macs, using a combination of 10.4 and 10.5, connected via an AEBS and this only seems to occur when I am connected to my network.
I'm not sure about this, but I think that when it happens that network time and date is automatically being set.

How can i check the planned data vs actual data

How can i check the planned data vs actual data with the infocubes?

Hi Srinivas,
You create one cube for plan data and create another cube for actual data.
Create a multiprovider and give comparision report. this is betterway.
Or you can also load actual and plan data in one cube but you need to maintain one character like version to seperate atual and plan data.This is not a good work.

Vijay.
