Create file list- include file date?

[minor]

I'm wondering if it's possible to add a line to create
file list that includes the date the file was created or
modified.

For example, current output is

1.txt
2.txt
3.txt

And the ideal output would be

1.txt 12/26/2011
2.txt 12/25/2011
3.txt 12/20/2011

Thanks,

Leslie

See the example below. This task makes the list of TXT files from c:\incoming folder with date in your current format

This is perfect, thank you!

Would it be possible to change the format of the date?
I've
looked at the filetime variable, and I don't see an
obvious
way to do it..

Ideally, I'd like the date format to be something like
YYMMDD, however I have no idea how to do this

edit:
Actually, I think I figured something out from looking at
samples. Downloaded the basic plug-in and put an extra
step in the task you posted above to evaluate & added an
extra local variable in

Code: Select all

[Actions\Action4]
ActionID=STRING|"BASIC_EVALUATE"
Enabled=INTEGER|-1
Name=STRING|"Evaluate"
Params=FOLDER

[Actions\Action4\Params]
expression=STRING|"format(#{filetime(0)}#, ""yymmdd"")"
variable=STRING|"FORMATTEDDATE"

[Actions\Action5]
ActionID=STRING|"A_VARIABLES_SET"
Enabled=INTEGER|-1
Name=STRING|"Set variable ""NEWTEXT"" with value ""
{newtext}{formatteddate}{cfile}{EOL}"""
Params=FOLDER

[Actions\Action5\Params]
expand=STRING|"1"
varname=STRING|"NEWTEXT"
varvalue=STRING|"{newtext}{formatteddate}{cfile}{EOL}"

Please let me know if there is a better way to do this,
otherwise I will stick with this solution

You have forestalled me .
I want to say that you can do complex string transformation with actions of Basic plugin (Evaluate or Basic Script)
