Hi,
I like to recursively get the date stamp of a list of files in a folder and then writes it to a text file (it would be good to write the name of the file associate with the date stamp, if possible). Is there a command to do that in FinalBuilder 5? There is a "Get Date/Time", but it only reads only one folder or file.
Thanks,
-Wei

That in combination with the **File Iterator** action (to be found in **Iterators** ) should do the trick.
