I need a small program that can take all timestamps (created and modified etc) from one file and copy it to another or better all files in another directory. It should work like: [login to view URL] file1 file2 or [login to view URL] file1 directory all files in the directory should have their timestamps changed to the one from file1. Thats it small and quick for an expert. Can be in any language!!! No requirements on the language! (java, python, perl, cucubmer etc)

Hello, here [login to view URL] is the code I wrote in python to change the timestamps. Please, test it and let me know if it works for you. It can take a file or directory as target to change the timestamps. In case of a directory, every file including subdirectories will be modified. usage: [login to view URL] [-h] inputfile target arguments: inputfile The file from which the timestamps will be copied. target The target file or directory. Please let me know if you have any problem whatsoever. Thank you.

I would write this as a shell script (.sh). Since it's what I'm best at. I would utilise stat to get the filestamps and touch to apply them.

Hi, I will give you an exe. You can run the exe from command prompt. It will require you to give the initial file name and a directory path. All the files in that directory will have the timestamp of the initial file. Thanks.

I have a lot of experience on Unix systems and with perl programming. I can write the script to your wishes, I would imagine the script would either distinguish between directory and file as the second parameter and do the right thing, or let's you specify flag "-r" to to it recursivel (in case you may need to copy timestamp from file to a directory itself).
